The convergence of Quantum with AI

CUNY

CUNY (City University of New York) is a public university system of roughly 25 campuses across New York City, not a commercial quantum computing company. Its quantum-relevant research is concentrated at the CUNY Graduate Center's Photonics Initiative at the Advanced Science Research Center, which covers integrated photonics, quantum optics, and optoelectronic device physics, with affiliated work in atomic and condensed-matter physics. It contributes academic research and workforce training in the field rather than selling quantum hardware, software, or cloud access.

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.

OutlookPlausible

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.
