The National Science Foundation's renewal of $37.5 million for the University of Illinois-led HQAN marks a significant milestone in advancing modular quantum computing architectures. This funding will specifically target closing technical gaps in networking QPUs while expanding critical workforce development programs alongside major industry partners like Google and IBM. For the quantum sector, this initiative validates modular scaling as the primary pathway to achieving practical quantum advantage over direct monolithic scaling.
NSF Renews Illinois-Led HQAN With $37.5M for Modular Quantum Computing

Insider Brief Press release – The U.S. National Science Foundation has renewed the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign-led NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks (NSF HQAN) for a second phase with $37.5 million in funding over five years. One of the original three NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institutes, NSF HQAN is the nexus of quantum […]
The U.S. National Science Foundation has renewed the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign-led NSF HQAN with $37.5 million over five years to advance modular quantum computing and workforce development. NSF HQAN brings together 45 senior researchers from six institutions to develop interconnected quantum processing architectures, including interconnects, transducers, hardware testbeds, software and algorithms. The second phase will focus on closing technical gaps in modular quantum computing while expanding education and workforce programs, with 16 industry partners including Google, IBM, IonQ and Quantinuum.
