MIT launches quantum fellowships with Moore Foundation support

The MIT Quantum Initiative (QMIT) has launched a postdoctoral fellowship program, supported by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, to accelerate interdisciplinary quantum research and develop the next generation of scientific leaders. Launched in December 2025 as an MIT strategic initiative, QMIT brings together researchers to apply quantum advances to challenges in science, technology, industry, and national security.
This fall, the first QMIT Fellows will arrive at MIT, establishing a new postdoctoral program designed to connect quantum research with fields like national security and computation. Supported by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the initiative aims to cultivate the next generation of quantum leaders…
