Accelerating research, collaboration, and innovation to make the
Pacific Northwest a global hub for quantum technology.
Our strength lies in collaboration. NQN brings together companies, universities, national labs,
and business organizations to form a powerful coalition accelerating quantum progress.
The Northwest Quantum Nexus (NQN) is committed to accelerating discovery and innovation in the rapidly evolving field of quantum technologies. Our mission is not only to advance the science and engineering of quantum information, but to attract and retain world-class talent, secure long-term investment, and build a sustainable quantum economy rooted in the Pacific Northwest.
We serve as a collaborative engine for researchers, companies, universities, and government partners — creating a dynamic environment where ideas move from theory to impact. Through shared infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and workforce development, NQN is shaping the region’s future as a global leader in quantum innovation.
We’re uniting institutions, industries, and innovators to transform the Pacific Northwest into a powerhouse of quantum advancement. From research to commercialization, our mission is to drive scalable impact.
Our collaborative research spans five interconnected pillars, each contributing to the foundational and applied development of quantum information science. Together, they fuel a cycle of innovation that moves the field forward.
