Mizzou establishes IBM Quantum Innovation Center

Quantum information and computing open new horizons for innovation in data science and informatics. Over the past few years, MU IDSI’s Director, Chi-Ren Shyu, has collaborated with IBM to establish the Quantum Innovation Center (QIC) at Mizzou. We extend our gratitude to the MU leadership team for bringing this transformative vision to life.

The QIC will provide the interdisciplinary research community with cutting-edge capabilities to advance science in fields such as healthcare, geospatial analytics, plant genomics, cybersecurity, material engineering, and beyond. Access to state-of-the-art quantum computing resources is critical for conducting serious quantum research and demonstrating quantum advantages. Most importantly, the QIC designation will connect Mizzou with 39 other IBM QIC centers worldwide, fostering large-scale collaborations and accelerating innovation.

Stay tuned for exciting developments, including the launch of the new Quantum Technology, Information, and Computing Club (QTIC), as well as the Quantum Colloquium, Quantum Special Learning Group, and regional events focused on research collaboration and workforce development!

Faculty members and students interested in learning how quantum computing may benefit their research are encouraged to email muitrss@missouri.edu.
