Why and how did Illinois become home to the future of quantum innovation? We asked IQMP CEO and Executive Director Harley Johnson to weigh in!
The short answer: Illinois has a unique combination of public and private support paired with a history of innovation and an unmatched ecosystem of researchers, academic institutions, workforce, national laboratories and industry experts.
This is a state that invented the first web browser, reversed the flow of a river and created the skyscraper — transformational change is, and always has been, part of Illinois’ DNA.
We’re so proud of the unparalleled collaboration between Team Illinois and all of the partners working together to build the IQMP.
