Quantum Speaker Series: Quantum Nodes, Not Silos
November 17, 2026
1:30 – 2:00 PM EST
Virtual
Quantum technology will not be built in one lab or one city, any more than the internet was. Matt Cimaglia, Founder and Managing Partner of Quantum Coast Capital, has spent the past few years watching a pattern take shape. Breakthroughs happen when facilities, networks, universities, and companies sit close enough to share what they need. In this talk he’ll explain what that looks like on the ground, drawing on Florida’s emerging quantum ecosystem and the newly announced NSF X-Labs Consortium, where Occam Foundry in Texas and Florida Quantum Center are among the founding partners. He’ll also cover new node work underway in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Together they make the case that connecting regional nodes like these is the fastest, most practical path to a durable national quantum economy, and he’s optimistic about how quickly we can get there.
