EPB has launched a Quantum Computing Fellowship funded by a $4 million grant from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, awarded in 2024. The program aims to provide training and real-world experience in quantum computing, benefiting both EPB customers and the Chattanooga community.

This initiative is in partnership with IonQ, a leader in quantum computing. EPB previously installed an IonQ Forte Enterprise quantum computer at the EPB Quantum Center in Chattanooga. Local Congressman Chuck Fleischmann has supported advancements in quantum technology, which are expected to enhance national security and economic competitiveness while developing a skilled workforce in the region.
