ADELPHI, Md. — Secretary of the Army Christine E. Wormuth designated the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command’s Army Research Laboratory as one of the four Department of Defense Quantum Information Science Research Centers.

In a June 14, 2023 memorandum, the secretary said that DEVCOM ARL has in-house and extramural efforts in key Quantum Information Science and QIS-enabled technologies and systems, such as atomic clocks and sensors for navigation, computers for classically intractable problems in information security, and networks for connecting quantum technologies.
