The Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) is a Midwest-based consortium of universities, national labs, and nearly 70 industry, international, and nonprofit partners that advance quantum research, workforce development, and economic innovation to pave the way for at-scale quantum technologies that improve everyday life. The CQE leads the $55 million Bloch Quantum, a US Economic Development Administration-designated Tech Hub that is transitioning the US quantum sector to scaled manufacturing.
Listen to CQE CEO Kate Timmerman explain days after the CQE-led Bloch Quantum Tech Hub secured $55 million from the U.S. EDA to build a domestic quantum supply chain what that money actually does and why the Midwest is at the center of it all.
Researchers at UChicago and partner institutions showed that braiding and fusing particles called non-Abelian anyons can perform any operation a quantum computer needs.
