Learn how Duke Quantum Center (DQC) researchers are leading a multi-institutional effort to design a 256-qubit system backed by the NSF.

Dear Colleagues,

Quantum computing is one of today’s most transformative scientific frontiers, and Duke ECE is leading the charge in this field. Our faculty at the Duke Quantum Center conduct cutting‑edge research, advancing systems that are shaping the nation’s quantum infrastructure. In recent months, teams here earned major NSF support to design a 256‑qubit computer and to construct a 96‑qubit system—evidence of our depth across physics, devices and computing.

Our commitment extends beyond discovery. Duke ECE faculty have launched quantum startups, one of which has now gone public, and our programs are preparing the future workforce of quantum engineers through immersive research experiences and interdisciplinary coursework. By connecting fundamental science, education and entrepreneurship, we’re helping build the quantum future from the lab to the marketplace.
