CQE Workshop: Quantum Standards Readiness & Participation

Join the Chicago Quantum Exchange and Advancing Standardization for Critical and Emerging Technologies (ASCET) Center of Excellence to advance the goal of strengthening the U.S. quantum ecosystem through standardization, information sharing, and workforce development.

The workshop will explore how standardization can guide U.S. private sector leadership in international standards development, provide tools and strategies to streamline pre standardization efforts, align standardization activities with U.S. innovation goals, and fill ecosystem-wide gaps to give the U.S. quantum industry a strategic edge in international standards arenas.

Through real-time data collection and facilitated dialogue, participants will identify organizational readiness levels, barriers to standardization engagement, and workforce and training needs in the quantum ecosystem. Insights gathered will inform ASCET’s initiatives to strengthen U.S. engagement in international quantum standardization.
