Unpacking the Texas Quantum Computing Initiative

Date TBA

Texas, already a leader in multiple advanced computing technologies from silicon to supercomputing, is now developing plans to achieve national and global leadership in the race to develop and deploy revolutionary quantum computing systems. With game-changing potential in science and industry, such leadership can also drive tremendous economic value—in a market projected at $1-2 trillion annually by 2035—and significant defense advancements. Blessed with leading research universities, a vibrant startup ecosystem, presence of global technology giants, a robust industrial and defense base, and a proven history of large-scale innovation programs like the Texas Chips Act, Texas has the key ingredients to establish itself as the U.S. quantum capital.

The new Texas Quantum Computing Initiative aims to realize this potential and bring leadership in this transformative technology to Texas’s tech portfolio. Join Rep. Capriglione, a sponsor of transformative technology initiatives, and a panel of quantum and industry leaders as they explore critical questions: Why Texas? Why Quantum? Why Now? Learn about the plans, players, and opportunities shaping this exciting future.
