What they work on
- Build a regional innovation engine based on quantum information science that brings quantum computing, sensing and communications into the pharmaceutical, national security, and finance and insurance sectors.
- Support industry experimentation and startups through an incubator offering access to quantum technology and computing infrastructure, carrying innovators from ideation to commercialization.
- Develop a quantum-ready workforce through training pathways spanning vocational and community college programs through university education, from middle-skill jobs to advanced R&D.
More about the research
Turning them into useful tools for industry requires applied research, startups and a trained workforce. This grant establishes an innovation engine in Connecticut to build that ecosystem.
Why it matters
QuantumCT aims to help industries such as pharmaceuticals, national security, and finance and insurance adopt quantum computing, sensing and communication technologies. Through workforce training and startup support, it could create jobs and quantum-skill pathways for workers at all education levels in Connecticut and beyond.
Known grants
From NIH and NSF research grants. Labs often have other funding we can't see.
