Q-Next Has Come Far In Its Inaugural Year, How Far?
Q-NEXT, led by the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory, brings together roughly 100 scientists at national labs, universities, and companies to carry out an ambitious mission: develop the science and technology to store and transmit quantum information, whether at distances as small as the width of a computer chip or as large as the distance between Chicago and San Francisco.
U.S. National Science Foundation Tosses $50M at Quantum Initiatives to Solve Societal Issues, Universities to Reap Awards
NSF advances 10 quantum technology and artificial intelligence Innovation solution teams to the next phase of the Convergence Accelerator program The U.S. National Science Foundation announced a $50 million investment to advance 10 convergent multidisciplinary research teams, funded by the Convergence Accelerator program, to phase 2. The selected teams will continue to apply a convergent approach as […]
On the Heels of Being Hung Out to Dry in Kabul, U.K. and Aussie Govt’s Forge Deal to Share A.I., Quantum Computing Capabilities With U.S. Military
As leaders of Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States, guided by our enduring ideals and shared commitment to the international rules-based order, we resolve to deepen diplomatic, security, and defense cooperation in the Indo-Pacific region, including by working with partners, to meet the challenges of the twenty-first century. As part of this effort, we are announcing the creation of an enhanced trilateral security partnership called “AUKUS” — Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

Take it or Leave it: U.S. National Security Agency Gave Us the Questions They Asked Themselves, and the Answers They Gave Themselves
Quantum computers can, in principle, perform certain mathematical algorithms exponentially faster than a classical computer. In place of ordinary bits used by today’s computers, quantum computers use “qubits” that behave and interact according to the laws of quantum mechanics. This quantum physics-based behavior would enable a sufficiently large-scale quantum computer to perform specific mathematical calculations that would be infeasible for any conventional computer.
Quantum Imaging, Quantum Work Force, Quantum Biology Research, all From U.S. Taxpayers’ $25M
As part of a nationwide initiative to boost research in quantum science, the National Science Foundation will establish a $25 million institute in Chicago to investigate quantum sensing for biology and train the quantum workforce. Headquartered at the University of Chicago and in partnership with Chicago State University, the University of Illinois at Chicago and Harvard University, the institute will be funded for five years.
