Quantum Initiative
UTC has launched an institutional initiative in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) with the goal to establish a program known for excellence in education, innovation, and economic development enabled by Quantum Technology (QT).
In collaboration with several partners, the UTC Quantum Initiative is establishing a quantum node connected to EPB Quantum Network powered by Qubitekk and being deployed by EPB of Chattanooga. The network was announced during the 2022 Quantum World Congress. The UTC quantum node is projected to be operational by October 2023.
