Panel 8.1: The Current State of Quantum Networking
James “Jim” Ingraham is Vice President of Strategic Research for EPB, a municipal provider of energy and connectivity services for Chattanooga, Tennessee, and the surrounding areas. He is responsible for strategic business development projects, energy & communications market research, electric rate analysis and design, federal public policy research, and grant development. Most recently, he was a member of the team that launched EPB Quantum NetworkSM powered by Qubitekk, America’s first industry-led, commercially available quantum network designed for running equipment and applications in an established fiber optic environment.
Ingraham also made essential contributions to the rollout of EPB’s community-wide 100% fiber optic network and smart grid infrastructure which put Chattanooga on the map as the first in America to make Gig-speed internet accessible to all. Since then, EPB has continually worked to keep Chattanooga on the cutting edge, most recently through the launch of the nation’s first community-wide 25 Gig internet offering. In the first 10 years of its existence, Chattanooga’s advanced smart city infrastructure has generated $2.7 billion in economic benefit through jobs creation, bridging the digital divide, reduced power outages and more.
Prior to joining EPB, Ingraham held several positions over 13 years at the Tennessee Valley Authority and was a technology development policy advisor to the State of Tennessee Commissioner for Economic and Community Development.
