The Ohio State University has joined the Midwest Quantum Collaboratory (MQC), a coalition of research universities focused on advancing quantum science, technology, education and workforce development across the Midwest. Ohio State's addition brings the consortium to eight member institutions.
The university contributes strengths in quantum computing, sensing and secure communications, supported by recent investments including the launch of the Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering (CQISE), which brings together researchers from multiple disciplines.
"MQC creates a powerful framework for connecting the extraordinary quantum expertise that exists across the Midwest”
— Ezekiel Johnston-Halperin, co-director of CQISE and professor of physics.
Membership in MQC is expected to expand collaborative research opportunities, support workforce development and strengthen the region’s growing quantum innovation ecosystem.
