EPB Launches Commercial Quantum Utility in Chattanooga

By The Qubit ReportSeptember 19, 2026

AI Summary

Chattanooga-based utility provider EPB launched an on-site IonQ Forte Enterprise quantum system, the first of its kind for a U.S. utility.

The project, located in Chattanooga, Tennessee, represents a significant step in the practical application of quantum technology for utility infrastructure. The system is designed to provide commercial quantum computing and networking capabilities under one roof. The launch event featured participation from major technical and academic partners, including UTC, Vanderbilt, NIST, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and NVIDIA. These partners are expected to utilize the site to explore quantum-enabled solutions for grid optimization and other complex computational tasks. The facility is scheduled to open its doors to users in early October, setting a precedent for localized, high-performance quantum access in a utility-integrated environment.
