The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) — a Defense Department agency that invests in breakthrough technologies for national security — and the State of Illinois are partnering to test quantum technology prototypes on the state’s soon-to-be-built quantum campus, leveraging Illinois’ recent $500 million quantum budget outlay and the region’s deep bench of world-leading scientists to strengthen national security. The location of the campus, which will include shared cryo facilities, equipment labs, and research spaces for both private companies and universities, has not yet been announced.
