A Statewide Commitment to the Future
An initiative bringing together Arizona’s research, education, and industry ecosystems to lead in quantum technology and workforce development.
Why Quantum, Why Now
Arizona is at a turning point: quantum technologies are moving from theoretical promise to real-world impact—in computing, cryptography, sensing, and beyond. As national momentum accelerates, Arizona Quantum ensures our state isn’t just participating, but leading. By connecting regional strengths—from world-class research labs to K-12 education and economic development agencies—we’re creating a unified front to shape the quantum future.

“The future quantum economy won't be built in one place. It will emerge through a network of specialized nodes around the world—regions that each contribute a critical piece of the puzzle. Arizona is positioning itself as one of those essential nodes by focusing on the supply chain that quantum technologies will depend on.”
