Pritzker eyes a $20 billion quantum-computing campus – Crain’s*

It’s becoming much clearer why Gov. J.B. Pritzker wants legislators to give him a half-billion dollars for quantum computing. The state of Illinois is closing in on what it believes could be the biggest technology project in state history: a $20 billion, 150-acre campus in the Chicago area for quantum computing. PsiQuantum is a leader, but there’s no guarantee its approach will work. Nor is it certain when or if quantum computing will deliver on the potential of becoming the next big thing.

There’s nothing more dangerous than an inherited billionaire spending other people’s money on other people!

$500 mil in taxpayer grants to U of I & U of C in hope they will attract quantum computing companies? I guess JB hopes he will get fed matching $bucks and win race against CO? I tried to google PsiQuantum, it’s just a tech start-up IPO where maybe CTU can invest there pension funds
