The Texas Quantum Summit 2026 is set for Aug. 13-14 at The University of Texas at Dallas, where company representatives, researchers, policymakers and government leaders are expected to meet on quantum technology issues.
The Richardson event will focus on quantum computing, networking, commercial development, workforce preparation and state policy. Topics listed for the summit include hardware, software, business uses, partnerships between universities and companies, and the role of Texas government in the developing sector.
Organizations scheduled to take part include NVIDIA, Amazon, IBM, Microsoft, Citigroup, IonQ, QuEra Computing and Infleqtion. Academic researchers and policy officials are also expected to participate, according to the source material.
The summit follows the 2025 Texas Quantum Initiative, a state effort tied to quantum research, commercialization and workforce training. The event is intended to highlight research, industry coordination and education connected to building a quantum workforce in Texas.
“Quantum computing is a transformative technology with the potential to significantly impact the Texas economy and workforce,” Dr. Joseph Pancrazio, UT Dallas vice president for research and innovation and a bioengineering professor, said in a university release cited by thequantuminsider.com.
Dr. Michael Kolodrubetz, a UT Dallas physics associate professor, director of the Center for Quantum Integrated Systems and organizer of the symposium, said quantum technologies are not yet widely available as standard business tools, but quantum computers and algorithms have been tested and refined for particular applications.
