Abstract

Abstract The U.S. Center for Quantum Technologies (CQT) is a multi-university consortium established under the U.S. National Science Foundation’s Industry-University Cooperative Research Centers program. Led jointly by Purdue University, Indiana University (both Bloomington and Indianapolis campuses), and the University of Notre Dame, CQT integrates academic research with industrial and governmental collaboration to accelerate quantum innovation. This perspective outlines the consortium’s strategic mission, interdisciplinary research agenda, and its role in shaping the future of quantum-enabled technologies through collaborative development, translational impact, and workforce cultivation.
