This $55 million expansion solidifies the Midwest's role as a critical node for domestic US quantum manufacturing supply chains. By leveraging existing industrial capacity to reduce reliance on foreign imports, this initiative directly addresses national security vulnerabilities and production cost challenges inherent in current hardware development. The project signals a strategic shift toward localized fabrication capabilities essential for scaling commercial applications of quantum technologies.
CQE-Led Bloch Hub Drives $55M Quantum Prairie Expansion

The CQE-led Bloch Quantum Tech Hub has raised $55 million to build a US quantum supply chain, following a US Economic Development Administration award. This positions the Illinois-Wisconsin-Indiana region to lead US quantum manufacturing, leveraging existing Midwest manufacturing capacity, talent, and industry base.
A $55 million investment is targeting Illinois, Wisconsin, and Indiana as a center for US quantum manufacturing, led by the Chicago Quantum Exchange-led Bloch Quantum Tech Hub. The project uses a $30 million award from the US Economic Development Administration to attract additional commitments from state entities and private sector partners including Infleqtion, IonQ, and IBM, with the goal of reducing reliance on foreign imports in the quantum supply chain. “The Bloch will advance US quantum leadership, strengthen national security, and create jobs by removing barriers to domestic quantum manufacturing, a challenge the Midwest is well-suited to address,” said David Awschalom, director of the CQE. This funding builds on the momentum of Quantum Prairie, establishing the region as a growing global influence in the field and promising a projected $300 million in additional investment and thousands of new…
