This Project Grant award of $1,326,261 from the National Science Foundation's (NSF) Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (CFDA 47.084) program supports a year-long planning effort to develop a comprehensive strategy for establishing a "QuantumGrid Innovation Hub" in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The hub will leverage the existing EPB quantum network, smart electric grid, and innovation ecosystem to create a testbed where startups, researchers, and industry can develop quantum applications for electric grid security and related approaches. The planning activities, led by the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC) in partnership with EPB, CO.LAB, and the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative, will encompass stakeholder convenings, identifying technical barriers and potential solutions, engaging startups and industry, and concurrent economic and workforce development efforts. The resulting blueprint will detail the technical specifications, capabilities, and implementation plan for launching the QuantumGrid Innovation Hub, which aims to advance quantum applications critical to U.S. national security.
