MIT Center for Quantum Engineering (MIT-CQE)

Principal Investigators William Oliver , Danna Freedman

Project Website https://cqe.mit.edu

Project Start Date September 2025


The MIT-CQE is a platform for research, education, and engagement in support of quantum engineering – a new discipline bridging quantum science and engineering to accelerate the development of quantum technologies.

The CQE will be one of the thrusts in the Quantum@MIT Initiative. CQE used to focus on quantum computing and quantum sensing, going forward, CQE will only focus on quantum computing. Other trusts in the new initiative include:  quantum sensing, quantum networking, quantum gravity, quantum materials, quantum theory, etc.

Going forward, CQE will be focused on quantum computing. The group will be under the organizational umbrella called quantum@MIT. That umbrella will include things like gravity waves, quantum theory, exotic quantum materials and the like.
