FIU has signed an agreement with IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), the world's leading full-stack quantum platform and foundry, to install the company's new Superion 256 quantum computer on campus.
National security and cybersecurity: preparing for quantum-era security threats, advancing new approaches to encryption and helping protect critical infrastructure and other systems essential to national security.
The computer is expected to serve as the centerpiece of a broader FIU quantum initiative designed to attract research funding, develop industry partnerships and help establish South Florida as a center for applied quantum discovery.
"By housing our Superion 256 system directly on campus, FIU will lead the region in quantum research and training."
