Chicago Quantum Exchange

⏰ Two weeks left! Apply for the 2026 #OQI Undergraduate Fellowship: a paid summer research in #quantum computing, sensing, materials & more. Deadline Feb 10: chicagoquantum.org/oqi-undergradu…

📢 @AbilityEnginee1 has joined the Chicago Quantum Exchange as a corporate partner, connecting an engineering supplier with researchers and industry working on #quantum infrastructure and scaling challenges! Learn more: chicagoquantum.org/news/ability-e… #MidwestQuantum #QuantumPrairie

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…

🚨 Deadline Fri, Oct 3: Submit posters for the 2025 Chicago Quantum Summit (Nov 3). Presenters get free entry + prize eligibility. Poster session is presented by @CanCGChicago, highlighting 🇨🇦 strength in #quantum. Submit: form.jotform.com/252256469477167 #CQS2025

At @TEDxChicago, David Awschalom (@UChicagoPME, @ChicagoQuantum, @argonne) stressed that embracing uncertainty drives discovery and advances technology. “This is a once-in-a-generation moment for Chicago to become a global leader in this rapidly emerging area of quantum science and engineering.” #TEDxChicago #Quantum #UChicago #UChicagoPME #ChicagoQuantumExchange #ArgonneNationalLaboratory Photo by MicheleMariePhotography.com

Q-NEXT director David Awschalom took to the @TEDxChicago stage on Friday with a message on the promise of #quantum technologies for humanity. Stay tuned for the video. You won't want to miss it. @QuantumYear2025 #QuantumYear2025

Travelers at Chicago O'Hare can now step into the future of science ✈️ ms.spr.ly/6015svBHW UChicago PME’s STAGE Center, in partnership with IBM and United Airlines, has unveiled "Imagining the Future: An Encounter with Quantum Technologies," a new exhibit featuring a model IBM Quantum System One computer and a companion site designed by STAGE students: ms.spr.ly/6019svBHS This display will be open for the next year in United’s Terminal 1. The installation brings the wonder of quantum technologies to one of the world’s busiest airports and highlights Chicago’s leadership in this rapidly growing field. #EngineerTheFuture

@qnextquantum @TEDxChicago @QuantumYear2025 Thanks for sharing this! Always valuable to hear David, also director of the Chicago Quantum Exchange, share his perspective on quantum technologies.

staC12, a @UChicago/@UChicagoPME spinout, joins CQE! 🎉 They develop single-crystal diamond materials for #quantum sensing & semiconductors, connecting with CQE members to advance materials & quantum tech. Learn more: chicagoquantum.org/news/stac12-jo… #MidwestQuantum #QuantumPrairie

We're excited to share that our cross-sector team #QuantumConnected is a finalist in @NSF’s Regional Innovation Engines program! CQE-led Quantum Connected is working to secure the nation’s information with cutting-edge #quantum technologies. Learn more: lnkd.in/gSSNEj8p
