After large investments in the fields of bioscience and semiconductor manufacturing in recent years, Mayor Kate Gallego and the city of Phoenix are turning their attention to “the next frontier of advanced tech:” quantum computing communications and sensing.
“I’m proud to announce that we will create a Phoenix Quantum Strategy — a focused initiative to position our city as a quantum hub in the United States,” Gallego said during her State of the City address on Tuesday.
Quantum computing is an emerging field of computer science that can have develop more powerful and much faster computer power than traditional binary code.
