All Aboard All Things Quantum At Gig City Goes Quantum

From a World Quantum Day 2024 poster.
Quantum Zeitgeist

Chattanooga - and our campus here at UTC - are at the forefront of cutting-edge technology in more ways than one.

Artificial intelligence is an example.

Another is quantum.

UTC is a member of the newly-formed Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative, which is now partnering with EPB to offer weeks of activities to explore quantum technology for learners of all ages and levels at gigcitygoesquantum.com.

The activities were launched on World Quantium Day - Sunday, April 14th - and run through Friday, May 31st.

Danna Bailey is with Qubitekk, one of the partners in the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative.
