The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga has joined the Southeastern Quantum Collaborative to enhance quantum research for military and space applications, alongside founding members like IBM and Alabama A&M University. With over $11.1 million invested in quantum research and a partnership with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, UTC is set to launch a Bachelor of Science in quantum physics in fall 2024 and is developing a Ph.D. program in quantum science. The collaborative aims to leverage regional defense infrastructure to advance practical applications of quantum information science.
