IEEE Quantum IEEE Quantum is a global community within the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers focused on quantum information science and technology. It connects researchers, engineers, companies, and policymakers from institutions such as MIT, University of California, Berkeley, Harvard University, Stanford University and Caltech to advance quantum computing, quantum communications, and quantum sensing. The group engages with national laboratories like Los Alamos National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, National Institute of Standards and Technology, and international organizations such as CERN and European Space Agency.
IEEE Quantum brings together members from universities including University of Oxford, University of Cambridge, ETH Zurich, University of Tokyo, Tsinghua University and Peking University; corporations such as IBM, Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services, Intel, Honeywell and Alibaba Group; and startups like Rigetti Computing, IonQ, PsiQuantum and D-Wave Systems. It addresses hardware platforms represented by groups at IBM Quantum, Google Quantum AI, Microsoft Quantum, Xanadu, and ColdQuanta while interfacing with standards bodies like ISO, IEC, NIST, and ITU. IEEE Quantum intersects with award and prize frameworks including the Nobel Prize, Turing Award, Breakthrough Prize, and initiatives from the National Science Foundation.
The formation drew on roots in IEEE societies such as the IEEE Computer Society, IEEE Communications Society, IEEE Instrumentation and Measurement Society and IEEE Photonics Society, as well as collaborations with academic consortia like the Quantum Economic Development Consortium and government programs including the U.S. National Quantum Initiative and the EU Quantum Flagship. Early milestones involved partnerships with research centers such as Perimeter Institute, QuTech, JILA, Max Planck Institute for Quantum Optics, and industry labs at Bell Labs and Hitachi Research Laboratory.
IEEE Quantum operates under the governance structures of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers with ties to boards like the IEEE Board of Directors and committees such as the IEEE Standards Association. Its volunteer leadership includes researchers affiliated with Princeton University, Yale University, Columbia University, University of Chicago and University of Toronto. Advisory relationships extend to national advisory bodies like the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science and international agencies such as European Commission directorates and the Japan Science and Technology Agency.
IEEE Quantum produces conference series and periodicals drawing presenters from conferences such as IEEE International Conference on Quantum Computing and Engineering, APS March Meeting, NeurIPS, ICML, and QCrypt. Authors often come from labs linked to journals like Nature, Science, Physical Review Letters, Physical Review A, Nature Physics, npj Quantum Information and Quantum Science and Technology. The group organizes symposia alongside events hosted by SPIE, OSA (The Optical Society), Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and ACM chapters, and collaborates with conferences at Argonne National Laboratory and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory.
IEEE Quantum participates in standards development with stakeholders from NIST, ISO/IEC JTC 1, ITU-T, European Telecommunications Standards Institute, and consortia such as the OpenQASM community and the Quantum Industry Canada network. Technical groups draw expertise from researchers affiliated with Bell Labs Research, Mitsubishi Electric Research Laboratories, Fujitsu, Panasonic, NEC, and academic labs at University of Maryland, University of Waterloo and McGill University.
Educational initiatives partner with institutions like Coursera, edX, Khan Academy, and university extension programs at Columbia University and Cornell University to provide curricula influenced by textbooks and authors connected to John Preskill, Peter Shor, Lov Grover, Seth Lloyd and researchers at IBM Research. Outreach engages with public science venues such as the Science Museum, London, Exploratorium, Smithsonian Institution and programs funded by foundations including the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Simons Foundation.
IEEE Quantum fosters collaborations among ecosystem actors like Seagate Technology, TSMC, Applied Materials, ASML, Samsung, and Qualcomm for supply-chain and fabrication efforts, and negotiates partnerships with cloud providers Google Cloud Platform and Microsoft Azure for access to quantum processors. It liaises with financial and strategic entities such as Goldman Sachs, SoftBank, BlackRock and venture firms including Andreessen Horowitz, Sequoia Capital and Benchmark Capital that invest in quantum startups. Engagements include joint projects with space agencies like NASA and defense research organizations such as DARPA.
