PARTNERSHIPS
Purdue’s strong collaborations with other universities, government laboratories and companies helps to expand both theoretical and practical research into quantum technologies.
Chicago Quantum Exchange
Purdue is an academic member of the Chicago Quantum Exchange in the collaborative effort to advance the science and engineering of quantum information, build the future quantum workforce, and drive the nation’s quantum economy. CQE is an intellectual hub that has led the Midwest in becoming a central driver of U.S. leadership in quantum technologies.
Center for Quantum Technologies
Three Indiana research partners—Purdue University, Indiana University Bloomington, and the University of Notre Dame —are leading efforts to establish the National Science Foundation-backed Center for Quantum Technologiehttps://chicagoquantum.org/s (CQT) to develop novel quantum technologies to address significant industry challenges.
Quantum Science Center
Purdue is a core partner of the Quantum Science Quantum Science CenterCenter (QSC), one of five multidisciplinary National Quantum Information Science Research Centers supported by the Department of Energy.
Partner organizations include California Institute of Technology, or Caltech; ColdQuanta; Fermilab; Harvard University; IBM; Los Alamos National Laboratory; Microsoft; Pacific Northwest National Laboratory; Princeton University; University of California, Berkeley; University of California, Santa Barbara; University of Maryland; the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and University of Washington.
The QSC is led by Oak Ridge National Laboratory and its research goals are organized around three scientific focus areas:
- Quantum materials discovery and design, in which QSC researchers will investigate and exploit the novel properties of topological materials for computing.
- Quantum algorithms and simulations, in which QSC researchers will develop and test algorithms for quantum computers and sensors.
- Quantum devices and sensors for discovery science, in which QSC researchers will co-design new quantum devices and sensors with unprecedented performance for real-world applications in the DOE domain.
Midwest Quantum Collaboratory
The Midwest Quantum Collaboratory (MQC) was formed in 2021 with the founding members being the University of Michigan, Michigan State University, and Purdue University. The purpose of the MQC is to foster connections and collaborations between the three universities in quantum science and technology. These relationships serve as the foundation for forming teams to perform quantum-related research at all scales, from smaller teams to large-scale centers encompassing 20+ investigators. Specific research goals of MQC include creating new directions to exploit entanglement in inherently scalable systems, quantum sensing, and complex systems.
Quantum Corridor
Founded by technology innovators, Quantum Corridor’s next-generation fiber infrastructure connects Indiana and Illinois in a secure information-sharing network that research labs, private industry and government agencies in Chicago and northwest Indiana rely upon. The skilled professionals of Quantum Corridor are accomplished in disciplines from computing and telecom to finance, law and public policy. Their goal: to help establish the Midwest as the center of emerging quantum technology.
Quantum Collaborative
The Quantum Collaborative at Arizona State University connects top scientific programs, initiatives, facilities, leading Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST) talent, and prominent industry partners to advance the science and engineering of quantum information science, train the quantum workforce of tomorrow, and drive U.S. quantum economic advantage. Purdue University, through its Rosen Center for Advanced Computing and the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute, pairs high-performance computing with quantum expertise and broad regional integration.
Quantum Economic Development Consortium
Purdue is a member of the Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), which was established to enable and grow a robust quantum ecosystem in the United States. Purdue is especially interested in developing the currently inadequate quantum workforce to support the growing needs of industry and government.
