Biggest quantum computer coming to Chicago

Great, Skynet has a location in the Chicago area now.

As a Chicagoan, I sure this turns out better than Scott Walker's Foxconn boondoggle.

[@krnpowr]

Between this project, the Obama Library, the proposed development around the United Center, and the new 78, development in Chicago will be booming during the next decade. The west and south sides of the city will eventually be gentrified, and Chicago will become a city for the wealthy. All the riff raff will move out to the suburbs and to other states.

Not sure how this helps chicagoland directly, at least in the short term. In layman terms they are building a supercomputer for darpa and US air force. An element Pritzker didnt mention.

Why put this on the lakefront??

[@Zero-Gravity-Ind]

It's not on the lake front. It's beside the Chicago river further inland.

[@getem-chi8321]

For cooling.

Did they give away lakefront property? Are they allowed to do that?

[@LarryCairo]

Let me guess, someone from out of town came through, put on a flashy power point and the desperate for revenue elected officials jumped.

That was private property still owned by US Steel. It wasn't the city's to give away.
