A statewide initiative

Florida is building the quantum future.

One statewide effort, connecting Florida's research, education, and industry — to commercialize quantum technology in Florida and grow the jobs and economy it creates.

The moment

Quantum is moving from theory to deployment — and the states that connect their assets now will lead.

Florida starts from a position of strength: one of the country's largest economies, a deep research base, and the real-world industries where quantum will be put to work first. FloridaQuantum exists to turn those assets into a coordinated, national-leading effort.
