Good news: #quantum technologies may offer a new solution to GPS jamming and spoofing. Several CQE corporate partners, including @Boeing , @infleqtion , and @SandboxAQ , are among those developing applications. chicagoquantum.org/news/how-quant… #MidwestQuantum #QuantumPrairie
High school students spent two weeks immersed in quantum science labs at @ChicagoState, with visits to @UChicagoPME and @Fermilab, gaining hands-on experience that many cited as motivation for their college majors. chicagoquantum.org/news/chicago-s…
It’s #WorldQuantumDay and #UChicagoPME is excited to celebrate the innovative #quantum research happening at @UChicago and alongside our world-leading scientists at @argonne, @UChicagoPSD, @Chicagoquantum, and many more. Check out pme.uchicago.edu/UChicago2025IYQ to learn more. #IYQ2025
What if the internet as we know it is just the beginning? On @BigBrainsUC, UChicago Prof. David Awschalom explains how the #Quantum internet could go beyond today's binary computing and reshape everything—from cybersecurity to scientific discovery. ms.spr.ly/6010qAXK2
Being a leader in the quantum revolution is more than spending time in a lab doing research. It also means spreading that knowledge in our local communities. We don't just educate. We empower. Happy #WorldQuantumDay!
✨Happy #WorldQuantumDay! Tune in today at 12 p.m. Central to @argonne's Reddit AMA on qubit materials. reddit.com/r/IAmA/comment…
