NYU

New York University is a private research university, not a quantum computing company; its quantum work sits mainly in the Department of Physics, with additional activity at NYU Tandon. The group led by Javad Shabani fabricates superconducting qubits and hybrid semiconductor-superconductor qubit devices, focusing on materials growth and coherence in superconducting circuits, while other faculty work on condensed-matter and quantum information theory, including at NYU Shanghai. NYU's role in the field is chiefly as a research and workforce-training institution rather than as a builder or vendor of quantum systems.

Mayor Mamdani Announces New NYU Quantum Fabrication Facility, First-of-its-Kind Partnership to Give City a Stake in Emerging Industry

New York City is granting $29.2 million to NYU for QFab, a 23,000-square-foot quantum chip fabrication and testing facility that NYU is backing with $255 million. The city will hold advisory board seats and a 15% share of intellectual property proceeds, a structure the mayor's office describes as a first-of-its-kind public-equity model for municipal quantum hardware. QFab is scheduled to open in 2030.

OutlookPlausible

The city's 15% IP revenue stake could become a template for other municipal governments negotiating co-investment in quantum fabrication facilities within the next two years.
