QuantumCT’s future premises, in the heart of New Haven, Connecticut
The 30,000-square-foot facility will serve as the nucleus of QuantumCT’s use-inspired research, technology translation, and startup engagement. Through new facilities at Square 10 and Parcel B, led by Winstanley Enterprises, Connecticut is building one of the nation’s most advanced open-access quantum ecosystems.
This state-of-the-art space will integrate coworking areas, wet and dry labs, engineering facilities, quantum testbeds, and on-site technical support — providing researchers, industry partners, and innovators with the critical infrastructure needed to test and validate quantum algorithms, qubit architectures, error-correction protocols, and other core technologies under controlled conditions.
Innovation Exchange
QuantumCT’s Innovation Exchange offers entrepreneurship programming and events that bring together founders, investors, students, and industry leaders to accelerate collaboration and investment in quantum technologies. From startup pitch showcases and investor roundtables to entrepreneurship bootcamps and student hackathons, these programs help innovators test ideas, form partnerships, and access funding. By linking academic insight with business expertise, the initiative grows Connecticut’s pipeline of quantum-ready entrepreneurs and builds visibility for early-stage ventures across the region.
Launchpad for Startups
QuantumCT’s incubator supports the next generation of quantum and deeptech startups emerging from Connecticut’s ecosystem. Through access to lab space, mentorship, and early-stage investment opportunities, startups gain connections to industry partners, state and federal funding resources, and technical expertise.
