State Grant For New Haven 'Innovation Cluster' Will Propel Quantum Economy

Normally, quantum events are impossible to observe without altering their outcome.

That's not the case with the growing number of events surrounding quantum technology in Connecticut. As efforts ramp up to build a national hub for quantum-related jobs, research, products, and services, there is plenty to see.

On Sept. 26, state officials selected New Haven as Connecticut's first "Innovation Cluster," a $50.5 million investment that will support a range of new infrastructure and resources for the quantum and biotech sectors - centered, in part, around the expertise of Connecticut's research universities, including Yale.

"I just think we're at one of those inflection points where there's so much opportunity," Connecticut Gov. Ned Lamont said at a press conference at 101 College Street announcing the new funding. He was surrounded by a host of state and local officials, as well as prominent leaders from industry and academia.
