“Groundbreaking Quantum Campus in Chicago” 🏗️
PsiQuantum broke ground at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) in Chicago’s South Side to build America’s first utility-scale quantum computer.
Anchored on a former steel-works site, the facility is backed by over US $1 billion in funding and aims to deploy a million-qubit, fault-tolerant photonic quantum system.
📌 Why it matters: Signals major infrastructure investment into quantum computing at national scale — not just labs but full industrial-scale build-out.
🌟 What’s next: Construction phases through 2027+, operational intermediate-scale quantum test systems evaluated by DARPA, and eventual full-scale rollout.
