The NSF's $28M award to Princeton's MARQUIS Institute marks a strategic pivot toward reinventing the fundamental materials and fabrication methods required for scalable superconducting qubits. By targeting Josephson junctions with a multi-institutional approach, this initiative directly addresses the manufacturing bottlenecks that have historically limited quantum processor growth. This funding represents a critical step in transitioning from incremental hardware improvements to a paradigm shift in quantum device engineering.

Khan · princeton.edu Princeton University will lead a new $27.9 million institute funded by the National Science Foundation, focused on overcoming a critical manufacturing bottleneck hindering the development of scalable quantum computers. For a quarter century, the quantum computing community has relied on the same materials technology, a foundation now seen as limiting progress toward scientifically useful…
