About
The University of Chicago is a private research university founded in 1890 in Chicago, Illinois. It conducts quantum research through the Chicago Quantum Exchange, a collaboration that brings together researchers from UChicago, Argonne National Laboratory, Fermilab, and partner institutions to advance quantum information science. The university's work spans quantum computing, quantum networks, quantum sensing, and quantum materials, and the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering hosts quantum engineering programs. Through fundamental research, education, and technology transfer, UChicago advances quantum information science and quantum technology commercialization in support of U.S. quantum leadership. The university has produced numerous breakthroughs in quantum science and maintains strong industry partnerships, helping to make Chicago a quantum technology hub.
