Quantum Science and Engineering

Quantum science and engineering has emerged as a frontier of fundamental knowledge about how the universe works. Investments in this area will build on and augment Yale’s leadership in fundamental quantum research, with dramatic potential applications across every sector. 
 
Research groups across campus conduct studies and form new collaborations that intersect with several other university initiatives, answering questions about viruses, neural networks, environmental and climate stresses on plants, and many other areas of investigation.

Highlighting Progress

Yale Quantum Institute

Experimental and theoretical researchers at Yale in the field of quantum information physics, quantum control, quantum measurement, and quantum many-body physics are brought together at this institute to further the basic understanding of the quantum world, and to develop novel information processing devices and other quantum-enabled measurement and sensing technologies.

Physical Sciences and Engineering Building (PSEB)

Scheduled to be completed in 2028, this new building will serve as a hub for quantum computing, engineering, materials science, and advanced instrumentation and development; it will be one of the largest facilities projects in Yale’s history.

PSEB

Renovated Wright Laboratory

The transformation of this facility enables the investigation of fundamental interactions in nuclear and particle physics and astrophysics, from neutrinos to dark matter.
