New York City and NYU Partner to Launch $284 Million Quantum Fabrication Facility
New York City and New York University announced a partnership to build a $284 million Quantum Fabrication Facility, QFab, at 770 Broadway, with a planned opening in 2030. The facility is intended to support quantum chip development, provide fabrication services, incubate startups, and fund workforce training through CUNY and New York City public schools. Under the arrangement, the city will hold a 15% equity stake in the project.
CUNY and NYC Public Schools begin to develop quantum technician and fabrication curricula before the facility opens, creating a pipeline of entry-level cleanroom and packaging workers.
