4. Entrepreneurship
While ORNL has worked in quantum science for decades, it also supports scientists to become entrepreneurs of early-stage companies like AtomQ. AtomQ, a member of Innovation Crossroads, began with quantum scientist Kevin Roccapriore. Roccapriore moved his research out of the lab and into a startup aiming to build a scalable atomic quantum computer.
As scientific discoveries happen and capabilities grow, quantum technologies will have a revolutionary impact on new information about materials for science and industry. That means big changes to benefit you—advances in quantum science and technology can optimize complex logistical challenges, offer new frontiers in communications and healthcare, and enhance energy security.
Quantum in the real world happens when ORNL connects industry, government, academia and cutting-edge quantum research and development.
UT-Battelle manages ORNL for DOE’s Office of Science, the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States. DOE’s Office of Science is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time. For more information, visit energy.gov/science. — Brynn Downing
