The Georgia Institute of Technology has agreed to work at the network’s hub in Oak Ridge National Laboratory to research quantum-friendly software infrastructure.
The Los Alamos National Laboratory also joins the network as a hub for various quantum computing research.
IBM has also added startups AIQTECH, BEIT, Quantum Machines, Tradeteq and Zurich Instruments to the network.
