Join the Quantum Revolution: The Launch of QLLIANSE Initiative
- Are you ready to witness the Southeastern U.S. transform into a quantum technology hub? The QLLIANSE initiative is here to make that happen, focusing on building a people-centric quantum ecosystem to drive economic growth and innovation in the region.
- Top institutions such as Oak Ridge National Laboratory, IonQ, and Pasqal are backing this initiative, forming a strong alliance across industry, academia, and government.
- QLLIANSE’s vision is to ensure equal access to the quantum economy, nurture a skilled workforce, and establish the Southeast as a global leader in quantum technology.
The Future of Quantum Collaboration
QLLIANSE aims to bring together quantum research institutions, tech companies, and policymakers across the Southeast for a collaborative quantum future. While many focus on hardware and software, QLIIANSE stands out by focusing on ‘peopleware’ as the driving force for quantum progress.
Joe Queenan, Executive Director of the South Carolina Quantum, emphasizes the importance of building a people-centered quantum ecosystem to drive economic growth, tech innovation, and ensure equitable access to quantum advancements.
“The Southeastern states have a unique opportunity to lead the quantum revolution. Through QLLIANSE, we’re not just creating a network of quantum expertise; we’re laying the groundwork for sustained economic growth and innovation,” said Queenan.
Key Partnerships and Alliances
QLLIANSE has already secured support from key organizations like Oak Ridge National Laboratory, North Carolina State University, IonQ, Pasqal, and more. These partnerships highlight the initiative’s commitment to fostering a diverse and inclusive quantum network across multiple states and industries.
Collaboration is key to unlocking the true potential of quantum technology, as noted by Charlie Brock, CEO of the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative (CQC). Diverse partnerships drive economic and workforce development opportunities while addressing national challenges.
Keith Alan Clark, President of Qubitekk, recognizes the advantages of being based in the southeast and working towards accelerating quantum technology development in the region.
Driving Impact and Innovation
QLLIANSE’s strategy involves regular member meetings to share best practices, explore grant opportunities, and promote collaborative projects. The consortium is also committed to nurturing a skilled workforce, supporting educational initiatives, and fostering quantum startups.
This initiative’s impact extends globally, aiming to position the Southeast as a leader in the quantum market. QLLIANSE members envision research breakthroughs translating into economic opportunities and improved quality of life for communities involved.
