What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The Illinois Quantum and Microelectronics Park (IQMP) is being developed on 128 acres of the former U.S. Steel South Works site in Chicago’s South Side. The project is focused on quantum computing, which draws on subatomic physics to perform complex calculations. The establishment of the park involves addressing the political challenge of developing a major initiative on a brownfield industrial site.
