A $121 million commitment to QuantumCT aims to speed up Connecticut’s push into next-generation quantum technology. The funding backs a new deep-tech incubator in New Haven and expands research, workforce training, and commercialization efforts. State leaders say the move cements Connecticut’s foothold in a field tied closely to defense, cybersecurity, and advanced manufacturing. Yale and UConn have already poured more than $1 billion into related infrastructure, positioning the state as a major player in the fast-growing quantum economy.
