Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visits Fermilab

U.S. Secretary of Energy Chris Wright visited Fermilab recently to see how the lab is driving American leadership in fundamental sciences and discovery, including in cutting-edge fields like artificial intelligence. His tour included one of the laboratory’s five particle accelerators, and the Secretary learned more about Fermilab’s flagship project, the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment.

Chicago approves billion-dollar quantum computing park project

    The Chicago Plan Commission approved plans to transform a former steel mill site into a cutting-edge quantum computing park known as the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. PsiQuantum will construct the large facility, aiming to develop a one-million-qubit utility-scale quantum computer. The park will be affiliated with the University of Illinois but will also have partners including Fermilab, Argonne, the Chicago Quantum Exchange and many Chicago universities.

    Quantum computer park clears key hurdle on Chicago’s south side with plan commission vote

      The Chicago Plan Commission approved plans for a quantum computing research park on the vacant U.S. Steel South Works site, advancing a project that could transform Chicago’s South Side into a national technology hub. The park will be managed by a University of Illinois-led organization in partnership with Argonne National Laboratory, Fermilab and other regional institutions.

      Illinois aims to become quantum computing hub with $500 million investment

        Illinois is poised to become a hub for quantum computing with investments from the the State of Illinois and the U.S. Department of Defense’s DARPA agency in a new QC campus. The Quantum Enterprise Zone will be a supportive environment for startups and entrepreneurs, offering access to resources, funding, and expertise. Fermilab and Argonne National Laboratories will also facilitate collaboration and knowledge transfer between academia and industry.
