Quantum Science & Technologies
Realizing the promise of quantum science & technology
Quantum science will 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.
At NYU, we are changing this dynamic. We launched the NYU Quantum Institute to build a uniquely cross-sector, cross-disciplinary ecosystem of researchers, industry partners, and civic leaders to drive quantum innovation, education, workforce development, and real-world impact.
And we’re already leading the charge with industry firsts: first quantum communication through existing telecom lines, the first academic cleanroom in Brooklyn, the first multi-node quantum network, and the first Thermal Laser Epitaxy system in the U.S. for advanced quantum materials research.

We study the physics of soft mesoscopic materials, sometimes known as complex fluids. We investigate colloids, emulsions, polymers, surfactant solutions, non-Brownian suspensions, gels...
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.
