NeuroQuantum Nexus
The NeuroQuantum Nexus initiative seeks to explore and accelerate the transformative potential of quantum computing in neuroscience and neurology. The ability to tackle the immense complexity of neural networks, brain function and neurological disorders promises to revolutionize our ability to model, diagnose, and treat these conditions with unprecedented precision. The NeuroQuantum Nexus focuses on developing quantum applications that can address critical market needs, advance scientific knowledge and improve patient outcomes.
By bringing together experts from diverse fields, the QLab aims to address key challenges in understanding the brain and developing new diagnostic and therapeutic tools. The Nexus builds on an interdisciplinary community fostered by the Mid-Atlantic Quantum Alliance with the Greater Baltimore region's world-leading neuroscientists, neurologists and neurotech developers, and partnerships with other leading innovation hubs around the world through the Potomac Quantum Innovation Center's Life Sciences and Healthcare Quantum Innovation Hub.
IYQ Global Industry Challenge
Through the International Year of Quantum Global Industry Challenge, the Nexus is growing its international network of researchers, industry partners, and end-users.
