RIT Advances Quantum Networking with $9.6M Award

RIT Secures Major Funding to Enhance Quantum Networking

The Rochester Institute of Technology (RIT) has achieved a significant milestone by securing a $9.6 million award from the Northeast Regional Defense Technology Hub (NORDTECH). This funding is directed towards the advancement of quantum chip technologies and aims to scale quantum systems by entangling them through a photonic network. Such developments are part of the ambitious Heterogeneous Quantum Networking project, a collaborative effort spanning four years with partners like the Air Force Research Laboratory, Yale University, Duke University, NY Creates, and AIM Photonics.
