Colorado quantum leaders gathered on Dec. 15 at the University of Colorado Boulder to speak with Sen. John Hickenlooper about the state’s recent tech hub designation. Colorado and the Mountain West are one of 31 regional tech hubs designated by the Biden Administration and one of two quantum tech hubs. Hickenlooper said quantum — a type of technology that can solve problems that are difficult, if not impossible, to solve with classic technology — is the country’s next opportunity for success.
