Gov. J.B. Pritzker says a new quantum computer in Chicago will bring jobs to Illinois, after state taxpayers provided $25 million for the project.
Pritzker and IBM officials unveiled the IBM Quantum System Two at Hyde Park Labs in Chicago on Friday.
The governor said quantum means companies investing billions of dollars and creating thousands of jobs.
The project includes a $25 million grant from the Illinois Department of Commerce and Economic Opportunity.
In a statement to investors, IBM said it generated $67.5 billion in revenue and delivered $14.7 billion in free cash flow last year.
