About
Through SC Quantum, South Carolina has focused on building awareness, understanding, and readiness around Quantum Information Science and Technology (QIST)
Advancing Quantum Technologies and Talent in South Carolina
SC Quantum was founded in 2022 to champion the advancement of Quantum Information Science and Technology and to promote collaboration among academia, entrepreneurs, industry, and government.
Through three pillars, SC Quantum has established a collaborative network to advance a learning environment for QIST, professional workforce development across all industries, and entrepreneurship for all.
While others have focused on hardware and software to build quantum, South Carolina's focus is on peopleware.
South Carolina has strategically invested in a roadmap focused on building awareness and capability across quantum technologies, growing talent, and strengthening connections across education, industry, and research. These efforts have been foundational by design. The emphasis has been on literacy, readiness, and trust. The result is a community that now shares a belief in what quantum can add to the state’s future.
That phase is now complete.
SC Quantum has completed its role as a convening organization. Its work continues through the projects and partnerships it helped bring together. What comes next reflects a deliberate shift from advocacy to action, and from preparation to execution.
Vision
A future where South Carolina offers the most dynamic and globally competitive destination for quantum discovery, education, and entrepreneurship.
