ORNL, partners secure $125M renewal for Quantum Science Center

A visualization showing a quantum computing system connected to classical supercomputing infrastructure. On the left, a cryogenic quantum processor is suspended within a metal frame, linked by golden cables to nearby electronics and control units. These control units are connected to several large black server racks on the right, representing a hybrid quantum–classical computing environment. The image highlights the data flow and integration between quantum hardware and classical computing resources.
