The article covers a commercial room-temperature quantum memory device for quantum networking, built on Stony Brook-patented work and deployed on testbeds in New York and Europe. Its TIME recognition is in the Experimental category, which honors concepts and prototypes with future potential rather than validated commercial performance. Readers tracking quantum networking should treat this as a sign of commercial progress, but the award alone doesn't establish scalability or real-world advantage, which would depend on the testbed results.

Stony Brook Quantum Memory Named to TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026

The Quantum InsiderOctober 15, 20267 min read

Insider Brief PRESS RELEASE — A quantum technology invented at the State University of New York (SUNY) at Stony Brook (Stony Brook University) is earning international recognition. Qunnect’s Qu-MEM, a commercial room-temperature quantum memory device developed from Stony Brook-patented technology, has been named to TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 in the Experimental category for concept […]

Stony Brook University‘s patented quantum memory technology, commercialized by Qunnect as Qu-MEM, has been named to TIME’s Best Inventions of 2026 list in the Experimental category. Qu-MEM is a room-temperature quantum memory designed to store and retrieve quantum information and operate with existing fiber-optic infrastructure for quantum networking. Developed from research led by Stony Brook physicist Eden Figueroa and his former graduate students, Qu-MEM systems are being deployed on quantum networking testbeds in New York and Europe.
