About
Argonne National Laboratory is a U.S. national laboratory founded on July 1, 1946, and located in Lemont, Illinois. It is operated by the University of Chicago for the United States Department of Energy. Argonne's quantum research covers theory, algorithms, simulations, and modeling of quantum systems using supercomputing resources and multi-qubit hardware platforms. The laboratory runs quantum computing testbeds that integrate quantum processors with high-performance computing infrastructure to enable hybrid quantum-classical algorithms, and its work spans superconducting qubits, quantum algorithms, quantum networking, and quantum simulation. Argonne is one of five DOE National Quantum Information Science Research Centers, with more than 1,500 experts collaborating across quantum research initiatives. It serves the scientific research community, government agencies, and industry partners applying quantum computing to chemistry, materials science, optimization, and machine learning. In November 2025, the Argonne-led Q-NEXT center was renewed for five years with $125M in funding, and in January 2026 Argonne and Intel deployed a 12-qubit silicon quantum-dot processor.
