Alabama State University is partnering with the IBM-HBCU Quantum Center, the nation’s first quantum education and research initiative for Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), to foster diversity and skills-development in quantum computing.

ASU's interim chair of the Math and Computer Science department, Dr. Michelle Foster, believes that as part of the IBM-HBCU Quantum Center, ASU will have access to the nation’s first HBCU quantum computing research program (established in September 2020) that will allow opportunities for joint collaboration on research, education and community outreach programs.

"The goal of this collaboration is developing a diverse and inclusive workforce in the field," Foster said. "This new partnership will provide ASU and its faculty and students access to IBM quantum computers and other resources for education and research."

This is hella' bleeding edge technology. Congrats to Alabama St for aiding to lead the charge in evolving the qubit paradigm vs our traditional and customary binary paradigm. Certainly will position big blue for the future coupled w/ cloud evolution as well.

There are some things blue tends to overlook which I sincerely hope they catch and address regarding built-in fault-tolerance & recovery, my area of expertise.

This sounds good, looking for great strides in the partnership
