Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker is championing a $20 billion initiative to create a 150-acre quantum computing campus in Chicago, in partnership with PsiQuantum. This project aims to establish Illinois as a quantum computing hub, potentially revolutionizing sectors from healthcare to climate science.

Governor J.B. Pritzker's initiative involves a substantial investment to support the construction of the world's first industrial-scale quantum computer in Chicago, in collaboration with PsiQuantum. This ambitious project is expected to create thousands of jobs and attract additional companies to the region, significantly boosting the local economy and positioning Illinois as a leader in the emerging quantum technology sector. The initiative also aims to leverage this infrastructure to secure federal funding and establish a strong presence in the quantum technology landscape.
