Five fabulous undergrads spent a summer at @argonne probing quantum materials and writing code for quantum hardware, thanks to @chicagoquantum's Open Quantum Initiative. And they agree: Anyone who wants to can do #quantum research. Their Q&A: anl.gov/article/the-fa…

The Bloch Quantum has advanced to the final stage of the @US_EDA’s Tech Hubs competition 🎉 Led by CQE, the proposal focuses on strengthening the U.S. #quantum supply chain and accelerating deployment across the Midwest’s #QuantumPrairie. Learn more 👉 chicagoquantum.org/news/bloch-qua…

The Quantum Law Navigator from UChicago's @ChicagoQuantum is a major tool to help stakeholders navigate the complex regulations that govern this fast-growing field. Learn more: ms.spr.ly/6015tR3wv

950 attendees from 15 countries, 32 US universities & 168 companies gathered at the 2025 Chicago Quantum Summit with a clear message: the #quantum future will be built together. Read more on collaboration shaping the field: 🔗chicagoquantum.org/news/expanded-… #CQS2025 #MidwestQuantum

Join CQE's own Emily Easton, director of education and workforce development, on Dec. 11! 👇

Big things happening in Chicago’s quantum community! 💫 We’re excited for @IonQ_Inc to become CQE’s third core partner—joining @Boeing and @IBM—as we work together to grow our 124-mile quantum network and push the limits of what’s possible. ⚛️

"The Quantum Law Navigator will help innovators turn complexity into opportunity and strengthen the foundation of a growing quantum economy. This effort underscores the kind of leadership that keeps Illinois at the center of global innovation," said @GovPritzker.

#Quantum tech is moving from lab to real-world impact. But complex laws can slow innovation. That’s why CQE + Barnes & Thornburg launched the Quantum Law Navigator at Day 1 of the 2025 Chicago Quantum Summit. 🔗 Read the report: chicagoquantum.org/navigating-law…

🌟One month out from the 2025 Chicago Quantum Summit, Nov 3–4 in downtown Chicago!🌟 Hosted by CQE, the event brings together leaders from science, industry & government to explore the future of #quantum tech. Details + tickets: chicagoquantum.org/summit2025 #CQS2025 #MidwestQuantum

The team of scientists came from @UChicago's @UChicagoPME, @UCBerkeley, @argonne, and @BerkeleyLab.

Researchers created erbium-based molecular qubits that link light & magnetism at telecom frequencies, the same as fiber-optic networks. This compatibility could enable future quantum networks and integration with silicon photonics. ⚛️ Learn more 👉 chicagoquantum.org/news/researche…
