EPB Quantum Center is America's first hub with a commercial quantum computer and quantum network under one roof. We connect you to the right quantum expertise, then provide the network and computing power to make it happen, whether you're still exploring what quantum can do or ready to run your first project.
Real quantum applications are already emerging in finance, healthcare, insurance, chemicals, logistics and automotive manufacturing, and the businesses building expertise now are the ones positioned to lead as the technology matures. The question for most companies isn't whether quantum will matter. It's whether they start exploring it today, while there's still an advantage to be gained.
EPB Quantum Computing Fellows are running live algorithms on the IonQ Forte Enterprise system today, not in a simulation, to optimize a real power grid. If quantum can already do this for critical infrastructure, it's worth asking what it could do for your business.
When EPB launched the nation's first community-wide gig-speed internet in 2010, most people asked why anyone needed that much speed. The businesses and researchers who started building expertise early were ready when the rest of the world caught up. Quantum is following the same pattern, and that window is open now.
Acquiring and maintaining a quantum computer isn't realistic for most organizations. EPB Quantum Center gives you access to a real, operating quantum computer and network without the capital investment, so you can start exploring now and scale only if it makes sense.
In 2023, EPB launched EPB Quantum Network®, America's first industry-led, commercially available quantum network. On September 18, 2026, we added the IonQ Forte Enterprise quantum computer, bringing commercial quantum computing and networking together under one roof for the first time in the country. Together, they give your business, research team or startup a real, operating environment to develop, test and deploy quantum solutions, not a simulation. This milestone is also bringing new investment, research and jobs to Chattanooga and Hamilton County.
EPB Quantum Network is a permanent, dedicated fiber optic environment equipped with the latest quantum network technologies to help innovators like you test quantum technologies, run existing applications and validate equipment performance.
