The Chicago Quantum Exchange advances the science and engineering of quantum information, trains the future quantum workforce, and drives the quantum economy by connecting top universities, national labs, and industry partners. The recipient of millions of dollars in government and corporate investment and home to some of the world’s top experts in the field, the Midwest-based CQE community is a central driver of US leadership in quantum technologies.
Northwestern Engineering researchers are collaborating to harness the extraordinary phenomena that underlie the origin and structure of the universe.
"We have a right to win quantum," CQE CEO Kate Timmerman said of the Illinois-Wisconsin-Indiana quantum community. "We see the gaps that normally prevent this region from becoming an innovation ecosystem, and we’re intentionally trying to fill them."
