QuantumCT, a public-private partnership aimed at accelerating quantum computing technologies in the state, has been moved to the next stage of a prestigious National Science Foundation competition.
In May 2023, the NSF awarded QuantumCT a $1 million planning grant in its Regional Innovation Engines contest. In round two, QuantumCT has the opportunity to submit a full proposal and receive up to $160 million to implement its goals and strengthen the state’s technology ecosystem and create new workforce career pathways.
QuantumCT was one of 71 teams chosen to proceed in the competition. Its partners include UConn and Yale as well as Connecticut Innovations, the Connecticut Business & Industry Association and the city of New Haven.
“Being selected to advance is a significant step for QuantumCT and for the future of Connecticut’s innovation ecosystem,” said Pamir Alpay, vice president for research, innovation, and entrepreneurship with the University of Connecticut.
“We’re laying the foundation for both economic growth and meaningful, tech-driven careers for Connecticut’s workforce,” said Michael Crair, vice provost for research with Yale University.
Quantum computing is an emerging global market, predicted to be worth $53 billion by 2028, that will impact a vast variety of industries, according to QuantumCT.
The final NSF Engines will be awarded in 2025.
