Connecticut is one of twelve regions selected for a National Science Foundation (NSF) Regional Innovation Engines award — and the only one focused specifically on quantum technology.
The QuantumCT Engine, led by @UConn and Yale, will receive an initial $15 million over two years, with the potential to receive $160 million from @NSF over the next decade. The award will accelerate quantum research, support technology startups, and build a workforce pipeline in fields from national defense and biotechnology to finance.
“With this transformative award, NSF has recognized the scale of QuantumCT’s ambition and its potential to accelerate the quantum revolution for our state, region, and the United States as a whole,” said Yale President Maurie McInnis.

A new vision for quantum computing is taking a big step forward.
A Yale-led project called ERASE has received a $4 million National Science Foundation grant to advance a quantum computer design built around a key innovation: qubits that can identify their own errors when they occur, making them significantly easier to correct. The grant will also expand quantum workforce development in New Haven.
