Research Centers

IQUIST is home to a broad portfolio of sponsored research, education and workforce development programs. See below for more information.

Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks (HQAN)
The NSF QLCI Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Newtorks features three quantum testbeds that will collaboratively develop the technology needed to assemble a hybrid quantum processor and network. Each laboratory is designed with multiple kinds of quantum hardware, which will be used to demonstrate distributed quantum processing and communication protocols. Our program integrates engineering, computing, and physics expertise to achieve our scientific, technology, and education goals.

Q-Next
Q-NEXT, a DOE National QIS Center, is a collaboration involving the world’s leading minds from the national laboratories, universities and the private sector, is one of five National Quantum Information Science (QIS) Research Centers awarded by the Department of Energy (DOE) in August 2020. Led by Argonne National Laboratory, Q-NEXT includes nearly 100 researchers from three DOE national laboratories, nine universities and ten leading U.S. quantum technology companies.
