A Note on How This List Was Created
The above list is not meant to be exhaustive. Microsoft Academic was used to pull a list of the top quantum computing research institutions publishing or presenting research on quantum computing, so far in 2022. Obviously, it is just a snapshot in time. The list could change because of publication schedules, timing of conferences, search terms, etc. and could include other limitations.
