Quantum Computing

A nonprofit learning studio called dae offers free programs for high school students and adults to learn about subjects like quantum computing, computer science, game development and web development.

Quantum computing is no longer a technology of the future. Its ecosystem is being built now, and states that make meaningful investments early in quantum’s mainstream development will reap the rewards.

The city, researchers said recently, is in a good position to help the state be a leader in quantum technology, as a pivotal moment, Q-Day, gets closer. That day could come as soon as 2030, a report said.

In the education space, quantum computing could usher in an entirely new generation of customized AI tutoring, though it could also dehumanize the learning process or exacerbate inequalities.

Vanderbilt University and the Electric Power Board of Chattanooga are looking for a downtown space for the Institute for Quantum Innovation, where up to 260 Vanderbilt faculty, staff and students will live and work.

Connecticut is committing up to $121 million to develop quantum technology, state officials and leaders of the University of Connecticut and Yale University announced Thursday.

Artificial intelligence has been in the spotlight, but quantum computing is poised to be the next big tech phenomenon. Industry experts urge public- and private-sector agencies to start preparing now.

The state has bolstered its effort to attract quantum researchers and companies by opening a Microsoft-backed research center with the University of Maryland. Backers of the tech said it could be more disruptive than AI.

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.
