The Chicago Quantum Exchange advances the science and engineering of quantum information, prepares the quantum workforce, and drives the quantum economy by connecting top universities, national labs, and industry partners. The recipient of billions of dollars in government and corporate investment and home to some of the world’s top experts in the field, the CQE community is a central driver of US leadership in quantum technologies.
Quantum information science and technology is a growing priority for the U.S. Department of Energy’s Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory, which marked a major moment in the quantum science by hosting Exploring the Quantum Universe — A Fermilab Quantum Symposium on Dec. 4–5.
Scientists from UChicago and universities in the US and EU look to computing’s past to chart quantum’s future. Their conclusion: the technology is maturing rapidly, and the next challenges are related to scaling.
