The MARQUIS initiative marks a pivotal shift toward scaling superconducting quantum processors by integrating semiconductor manufacturing expertise with fundamental research. By testing materials at the 300mm wafer scale within CMOS-compatible environments, this consortium directly addresses the critical bottleneck of transitioning quantum technology from lab prototypes to mass production. This collaboration is essential for overcoming manufacturing hurdles and establishing a resilient supply chain for future quantum systems.
NY Creates Joins Princeton-Led NSF Quantum Institute

NY Creates joins a $27.9 million, five-year NSF initiative—MARQUIS—to advance manufacturable and resilient quantum information systems, addressing technology scaling and workforce needs.
New York Creates will receive $1.25 million over five years as part of a $27.9 million National Science Foundation initiative led by Princeton University, aiming to overcome manufacturing hurdles in quantum computing. The Manufacturable and Resilient superconducting QUantum Information Systems (MARQUIS) Quantum Leap Challenge Institute will unite two dozen laboratories…
