Quantum Initiative

Quantum computing, materials and information science are emerging fields that could change the world, and North Carolina is at the epicenter of this change. At NC State, our faculty are working with industry to bring that quantum future to fruition.

Quantum Computing

Quantum computers are incredibly powerful machines that take a new approach to processing information using the principles of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Materials

NC State faculty is working to expand our knowledge of how materials behave and can be manipulated at the micro level for useful application in the field of quantum.

Quantum Networking

As quantum computing technology moves past infancy and into application, NC State is working on the ways this delicate information can be securely exchanged between quantum platforms.

IBM Quantum Innovation Center at NC State

The IBM Quantum Innovation Center at NC State is a center of quantum computing education, research, development and implementation. We work directly with our industry and academic members and IBM to advance quantum computing, as well as interdisciplinary applied research, student development and quantum computing curricula at NC State. Together we are working to solve real-world problems faster and more efficiently than may be possible with a classical computer.
