Illinois is making a quantum leap forward. With our Quantum and Microelectronics Park in Chicago, that means good-paying jobs and vital investment for the South Side of Chicago. It's a win for not only the city but the entire state.

For decades, America's industrial might was forged at the U.S. Steel South Works site in Chicago. Today, steel beams are rising once again at the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park, where PsiQuantum will deploy America's first utility-scale quantum computer. A full-circle moment for South Chicago—forged in steel and made possible by the world-changing promise of quantum technology.

Illinois is the best state in the nation when it comes to building a quantum ecosystem — from our universities and workforce to the future of the Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park. Big things are happening here, so stay tuned.

WATCH: Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker comes out strongly today against Chicago Mayor Brandon Johnson’s “head tax” proposal. “I am absolutely foursquare opposed to a head tax for the city of Chicago. It penalizes the very thing that we want, which is more employment in the city of Chicago. It makes it very hard to attract companies from outside the city to come in and harder for companies already here to stay.” Pritzker also said Johnson needs to work harder to find efficiencies in the city budget, rather than threatening the economic growth of the city and state with a new tax on jobs. “Balancing the budget for the state of Illinois and for the city of Chicago is vital. It can’t be ignored, it has to be done, but it shouldn’t be done with a head tax in the city of Chicago… “I am confident the city can do it. Look, you’ve got to start with efficiencies. You’ve got to go into city government—and I haven’t seen any of that in this budget so far. That’s going to have to happen because there are going to be changes. People are not going to like certain kinds of revenue enhancements that he’s got in his budget. So you’ve got to find efficiencies, and there are efficiencies to be found—some with technology, some because we have departments doing things that maybe we don’t need done. And finally, how about we do our best to attract, retain, and grow businesses in the city of Chicago, because that, again, is the best way for us to pay the bills.” Under Johnson’s proposal all companies employing 100+ people in Chicago would have to pay a tax of $21 per employee per month. As Pritzker correctly points out, it’s a punishment for creating jobs.

$Why quantum theory could have a fractal structure: explained in 83 minutes. The notion of true quantum nonlocality is absurd. In the latest episode of the Quantum Foundations Podcast, Prof Tim Palmer from the University of Oxford suggests that there is a hidden assumption in standard quantum mechanics, and dropping it will save us from this absurdity. Namely, the reality of counterfactuals: the physics of what could have happened but did not. Inspired by chaos theory and the fractal structure widespread in atmospheric physics, Palmer has developed a new underlying structure for quantum theory, with radical implications for our fundamental principles of quantum physics; the limits of quantum computation; and perhaps even the search for quantum gravity. Watch on my YouTube channel, or listen on Spotify and Apple Podcasts!$

Ethereum Researcher Justin Drake, who co-authored Google's recent quantum paper: "I've stopped thinking about post-quantum as a hurdle that we have to overcome, and I think of it more as an opportunity. It's an opportunity for Ethereum to stand out as the very first global financial system that is post-quantum secure — not just relative to its competitors, but also relative to fiat and tradfi." Justin also believes quantum presents an opportunity for Ethereum to become the best version of itself: “The move to post-quantum is essentially a rewrite, and that’s a massive opportunity to start with a clean slate and wipe our technical debt.” The rewrite bundles post-quantum security with a new ZK virtual machine (LeanVM) that can snarkify the entire consensus layer in real time. The result is that the Ethereum L1 can scale to 10,000 TPS at 1 gigagas/second — while simultaneously becoming quantum-secure. Source: Bankless (Mar 2026)

Today is World Quantum Day! A great reminder that quantum's impact on cryptography isn't theoretical, it's only a matter of time. To mark the occasion, CEO StaciW_DC sat down with world-renowned post-quantum cryptographer and Algorand CSO Chris Peikert to discuss the quantum threat to blockchain. Since 2022, Algorand has been leading in blockchain quantum resilience by securing its entire chain history with Falcon-signed State Proofs. In 2025, we took it further: the first quantum-resistant transaction protecting real digital assets was executed on mainnet. With Google now targeting 2029 for its own post-quantum migration, the urgency is clear. Algorand isn't waiting, we're already building for that future. Watch now! 👇

Colorado is a national leader on quantum. And we continue pushing the boundaries of what is possible in quantum. We held a Quantum Summit at the Governor’s mansion with leaders from across our state — our leadership is being recognized at the federal level with Colorado’s designation as a TechHub for quantum. We are proud of this significant recognition, which stemmed from a competitive national process, and we expect an equally successful Phase 2 application, unlocking up to $70 million in federal resources for the region. To further boost quantum technologies here in Colorado we’re excited to pursue legislation that will provide meaningful incentives to support Colorado as a leader in quantum.

$IonQ Tennessee just allocated $20M to accelerate quantum computing - 🧵 Governor Bill Lee’s FY27 budget includes funding specifically designed to attract federal and private investment in quantum, targeting advanced manufacturing, life sciences, and logistics sectors. Why this matters: State-level quantum funding signals a shift from pure research to economic deployment. Tennessee isn’t funding university labs - they’re building infrastructure to attract quantum companies and create high-wage jobs. Tennessee already has Oak Ridge National Laboratory, one of the world’s premier quantum research facilities. Adding $20M in state support creates a complete ecosystem: research capability, government backing, workforce development, and commercial deployment pathways. The timing is perfect: Quantum companies with deployable systems can now tap into state partnerships, regional contracts, and workforce programs. This creates real commercialization opportunities beyond federal research grants. For context, IonQ already works with Oak Ridge and has the commercial systems ready to deploy. But this funding isn’t just about one company - it’s about Tennessee positioning itself as THE quantum hub in the Southeast, competing with Colorado, Maryland, and California. What to watch: When states start competing for quantum companies with actual budget allocations, it validates that quantum computing is becoming an economic sector, not just a science project. Expect more states to follow Tennessee’s lead in 2026. The quantum industry is transitioning from “interesting research” to “strategic economic investment” at the state government level. That’s a meaningful milestone. 🎯 #QuantumComputing #Tennessee #Innovation #IONQ #EconomicPolicy #TechIndustry
