Quantum Campus shares the latest in quantum science and technology. Read by more than 1,900 researchers, we are always looking for news from across the country.
This issue is sponsored by IEEE Quantum Week 2026,13-18 September, Toronto.
IBM expansion
IBM plans to expand its quantum computing facilities in Poughkeepsie, New York, by more than 500,000 square feet at a cost of several hundred million dollars, according to a recent report in the regional Westfair Business Journal. The expanded quantum operations are expected to add about 200 new jobs. The facility proposal will be reviewed by town officials and staff in the coming months.

Infleqtion
An upgraded quantum sensing package from Infleqtion was launched to the International Space Station earlier this month. Part of NASA JPL’s Cold Atom Laboratory, it will facilitate the creation and study of simultaneous dual-species quantum gases with the potential to improve navigation and critical infrastructure resilience.

Panchanathan
Former NSF director and Arizona State professor Sethuraman “Panch” Panchanathan will lead the Phoenix Quantum Strategy, an initiative to position Phoenix as a quantum hub in the United States.
“ASU is more than ready for the challenge to help bring Mayor Kate Gallego’s request to lead a quantum computing, communication and sensing initiative to vision,” Panchanathan said. “Her foresight to establish Phoenix as a hub for quantum technologies is timely and important. The quantum strategy will leverage Arizona’s inherent strengths in the areas of semiconductors, supply chain and biosciences.
“ASU and other institutions are an incredible source of talent that can unleash new ideas, skilled workforce, entrepreneurs and the emergence of new industries.”
