tech industry and beyond . I ' m grateful to the leadership at IBM and our university and other industry partners for their ongoing efforts to accelerate quantum computing across our state ."
Illinois Urbana-Champaign and members of the Chicago Quantum Exchange and the US Economic Development Administration-designated Bloch Quantum Technology Hub .
Within the National Quantum Algorithm Center , quantum information experts , experimentalists and domain experts across industries will share a unified objective to uncover yet unknown algorithms that leverage quantum-centric computing , including those which combine quantum and classical supercomputing resources across workflows . These teams will explore rigorous experimentation to determine how to execute workloads for complex , industry challenges and within future hybrid supercomputing architectures .
To help drive new algorithm discovery , IBM will leverage its leadership as a pioneer in bringing useful quantum computing to the world with its existing relationships with Illinois academic and industry leaders , including long-standing collaborations with the University of Chicago , the University of
" IBM ' s decision to engage more deeply with our vibrant Illinois quantum ecosystem marks a new phase in the development of quantum information technologies ," said Paul Alivisatos , President of the University of Chicago .
" UChicago faculty and students will be able to deepen and expand their work in this area in collaboration with IBM scientists , colleagues from other universities and many interested companies . The development of new algorithms is the next step to demonstrating effective quantum computations across a wide range of important problems and sectors ."
" We ' re thrilled to partner with IBM to bring the National Quantum Algorithm Center to life and look forward to hosting its state-of-the-art Quantum Computer as part
