The Midwest Quantum Collaboratory (MQC) was established in 2021 to strengthen connections and foster collaboration among universities, industry partners, and national laboratories in the field of quantum science and technology. These partnerships provide the foundation for forming research teams of varying scales, ranging from focused small groups to large, multi-investigator centers involving 20 or more researchers. MQC’s research priorities include advancing new approaches to harness entanglement in scalable systems, developing quantum sensing technologies, and exploring complex quantum systems, among other areas.
