About QuantumCT
DRIVING THE QUANTUM ECONOMY
QuantumCT is building the foundation for a new kind of economy — one powered by discovery, collaboration, and opportunity. We’re supporting cutting-edge research, helping companies explore how quantum technologies can give them a competitive edge, and preparing a skilled workforce ready to take on the jobs this new era will create.
Our work connects Connecticut’s strengths — world-class universities, innovative companies, and a spirit of practical invention. From aerospace and insurance to finance and life sciences, we’re helping industries explore how quantum breakthroughs can become everyday tools, products, and advantages.
We also know that technology alone isn’t enough. A thriving quantum economy depends on people — students, engineers, educators, and technicians — who understand and can apply these tools in meaningful ways. That’s why we’re investing in education, training, and career pathways to ensure everyone in Connecticut can benefit from this transformation.
Connecticut’s Edge
Connecticut brings together a world-class research engine, a deep bench of technical talent, and a dense concentration of industries poised to benefit from quantum adoption. The state ranks among the top in the nation for R&D and innovation capacity, with over 100 quantum-engaged faculty. For more than two decades, Yale has been at the forefront of global quantum research — establishing Connecticut as an early and credible leader in the field. Combined with Fortune 500 leadership in finance, insurance, biotech, and aerospace, Connecticut offers a competitive advantage few regions can match.
