The state will work with the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency to develop the Quantum Frontier Project, Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham said Tuesday. It’s part of the agency’s Quantum Benchmarking Initiative

Albuquerque will host this year's Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Quantum Week conference — a first for the city as New Mexico makes a name for itself in the quickly evolving industry.

After Illinois approved spending more than $700 million to attract the quantum industry, stakeholders are beginning to ink deals and make agreements to bring specific quantum companies to the state.

The Ohio Institute for Quantum Computing Research, Talent, and Commercialization is unlikely to materialize after the state senate's latest budget rejected $14 million earmarked for the project.

A partnership between the state of Maryland and the U.S. Department of Defense establishes a “Capital of Quantum Benchmarking Hub” at the University of Maryland’s Applied Research Laboratory for Intelligence and Security.

The city’s municipal utility, EPB, which provides electricity and fiber optics to the greater metropolitan area, will spend $22 million to buy the computer. It is expected to be up and running in early 2026, officials said.

A joint venture between several universities, the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center is building computing capacity with investments expected to top $100 million over the next five years.

During a recent visit to St. Vrain Valley Schools, Colorado Gov. Jared Polis announced a Blueprint for Advancing K-12 Quantum Information Technology, with recommendations for lawmakers, educators and district leaders.

If it comes to fruition, local leaders expect the Massachusetts Green High Performance Computing Center's plan to build a $16 million quantum computing complex in Holyoke to produce durable, well-paying jobs.

The Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub has received a $27.4 million grant from the U.S. Department of Defense. The money will go to semiconductor and technology research at upstate universities and research institutions.

The site, long home to steel manufacturing, is expected to land billions in investment from California-based tech company PsiQuantum, which is working to build the first commercially viable quantum computer.

The U.S. Economic Development Administration has announced the selection of Colorado's Elevate Quantum among 12 tech hubs to receive funds for taking computing to a higher level.

Tens of millions of dollars from state and federal funding to build an ecosystem of quantum technology in Colorado will give students direct access to state-of-the-art labs and experts in the field.

Colorado is closer to becoming the center of the nation’s quantum technology universe with the award of $40.5 million in federal money, which will also leverage $77 million in state commitments.

The university will use a grant from the National Science Foundation to build a fabrication lab that will apply quantum discoveries to manufacture quantum computers, clocks, optical networks and other technologies.

Colorado Gov. Jared Polis signed a new tax credit bill at the University of Colorado Boulder’s JILA Research Institute on Tuesday to further support the quantum industry in the state.

Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute is the first and so far only university in the world to own a quantum computer, another in a string of milestone events as the college celebrates its bicentennial.

Officials on Friday announced the deployment of the first IBM Quantum System One computer on a university campus, at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in upstate New York. It’s aimed at driving quantum research and education programming.
