Quantum Science & Technologies

Realizing the promise of quantum science & technology

Quantum science has the potential to revolutionize technologies across multiple domains, from computing and communications, to sensors and secure data transmission, to global logistics and infrastructure security. However, the journey to realizing quantum’s full promise has been hindered by a fragmented landscape across academia, industry, and government characterized by ad-hoc collaboration.

At NYU, we see an opportunity to change this dynamic by creating a uniquely collaborative ecosystem that bridges disciplines and sectors. Our goal is to dramatically accelerate innovation in quantum materials and systems by fostering deep collaboration across diverse fields — from physics and engineering to computer science and materials — around real-world impact in healthcare, finance, cybersecurity, communications, and climate sustainability.


Hands-on Learning: Vertically Integrated Projects

Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) are multi-year, multidisciplinary projects that emphasize innovative and research-active education.

Research Labs and Groups

Nanofabrication Cleanroom

Building the future of quantum and enabling cutting-edge research in biosensing by transforming advanced materials into next-generation devices

Pine Research Group

PicoForce Lab

Riedo Group ­­— Understanding and manipulating solids and liquids at the nanoscale is a matter of continuously growing scientific and technological interest. Our mission is to develop novel scanning probe microscopy-based methods for fabricating the next generation of electronic and biomedical devices, as well as for groundbreaking studies of the mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of novel nanomaterials, including 2D materials and bio-interfaces.

NYU Nanolab

Our research team studies the physics of electronic materials and their application in building devices and circuits. We are an experimental group with experience in the synthesis of layered materials, nanofabrication of electronic devices, and electrical measurements at both room and cryogenic temperatures.
