PsiQuantum To Build First US-Based Utility-Scale Quantum Computer in Chicago, Illinois
PsiQuantum To Build First US-Based Utility-Scale Quantum Computer in Chicago, Illinois
siQuantum today announced a far-reaching partnership with the State of Illinois, Cook County, and the City of Chicago to build the first US-based utility-scale, fault-tolerant quantum computer at the former US Steel South Works property in the City of Chicago. Under this agreement PsiQuantum will anchor the newly established Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) which will catalyze the state’s highly developed quantum ecosystem, including the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign (UIUC), the University of Chicago, the Chicago Quantum Exchange, Argonne and Fermi national labs and DARPA, the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Project Agency and others.
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Has Launched New Quantum Benchmarking Initiative
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) recently announced that it has begun a new initiative to benchmark quantum computing algorithms and applications and assess the feasibility of building an industrial quantum computer. This Quantum Benchmarking Initiative (QBI) stemmed from two of the agency’s programs: Quantum Benchmarking and Underexplored Systems for Utility-Scale Quantum Computing.
