Chicago Quantum Exchange - CQE

Join leading experts from government, academia, and the private sector for an important announcement, followed by a virtual panel discussion hosted by the University of Chicago. Quantum technology is a rapidly emerging area that has the potential to transform industries in the same way that the Internet has reshaped the world in recent decades. At this event, experts will describe how Chicago — and the state of Illinois — are well-positioned to be the center of the quantum world, just as Silicon Valley became the center of the tech revolution. The panel and remarks include participants from government, academia, and the private sector, including Bessemer Venture Partners, ColdQuanta and Honeywell. ➡ Subscribe: About #UChicago: Since its founding in 1890, the University of Chicago has been a destination for rigorous inquiry and field-defining research. This transformative academic experience empowers students and scholars to challenge conventional thinking in pursuit of original ideas.

Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker joins Juan de Pablo, the University of Chicago’s VP for National Labs, Science Strategy, Innovation, & Global Initiatives, for a fireside chat about the impact of quantum science on the state of Illinois and city of Chicago. This event was recorded on November 12, 2020 at the Chicago Quantum Summit. The third annual Chicago Quantum Summit, hosted virtually by the University of Chicago, capitalizes on the momentum of efforts across the quantum community, including the recently announced launch of US national quantum research centers and key partnerships with academia, industry, and others. With a focus on building collaborations between national centers, companies, and innovators, experts discussed the future of quantum information science and technology, developing a quantum workforce, and the applications of emerging QIS research.

Solving big problems at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at The University of Chicago. -------------------- ➡ Subscribe: About #UChicagoAdmissions: The University of Chicago is home to a liberal arts college within one of the world’s most preeminent research universities. Students in the College are empowered to engage with challenging ideas and encouraged to express themselves freely in the small, discussion-based courses of our interdisciplinary Core curriculum. UChicago’s location in the historic residential neighborhood of Hyde Park provides students with the best of two worlds: a comfortable home in a neighborhood with a college-town feel, and easy access to a world-class city. UChicago is committed to ensuring that any student, regardless of background, can find a home here: applications are reviewed holistically, meaning that they are evaluated within the context of a student’s experience, and families making less than $125,000 per year will not need to pay tuition.

The University of Chicago launches the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering, becoming the first university in the United States with a school dedicated to this emerging field. The school expands the University’s research, education, technology development, and impact in molecular engineering, which builds on advances in basic science to design technology from the molecular level up, providing pivotal new approaches to fundamental societal challenges. The school is supported by a $100 million commitment from the Pritzker Foundation.
