The Quantum Economic Development Consortium (QED-C), is a consortium of stakeholders whose goal is to enable and contribute to the quantum computing industry. QED-C was established with the support of The National Institute of Science and Technology (NIST) and is managed today by SRI International. QED-C participants work together to identify gaps in technology, standards, and workforce in paralell with establishing a means of adressing these problems.

The Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE), is a midwestern US based center that connects top universities, national labs, and industrial partners to advance quantum science and engineering through the training of a highly qualified future quantum workforce, as well as driving the overall quantum economy. Having recently received large investments from the government as well as the private sector, as well as many of the worlds leading researchers in QIS, the CQE community is a central driver of US leadership in quantum technologies.

The Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT), is an Indiana based research partnership between Indiana University, Purdue University, and University of Notre Dame. The center is backed by the NSF, and is tasked to develop novel quantum technologies and address signifigant industry challenges.

The Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation, is an institute combining expertise in computer science, engineering, and physics. The center addresses the grand challenge of robustly simulating classically intractable quantum systems. This challenege is met through exploring theoretical foundations of quantum algorithms and quantum error correction in conjunction with exerimental quantum simulators such as trapped ions, Rydberg atoms, quantum photonics, and superconducting circuits.
