NYS Governor Hochul Announces $300M Investment in SUNY at Stony Brook’s Quantum Research and Innovation Hub
September 19, 2025
New York State is making a major investment in the future of technology with a $300 million commitment to Stony Brook University to establish a first-of-its-kind Quantum Research and Innovation Hub. Building on Stony Brook’s leadership as home to the nation’s largest quantum network, the new hub will advance research and education in quantum communication, computing, and networking—critical components for developing a faster, smarter, and more secure internet. The 150,000-square-foot facility, expected to open in 2029, will bring together a new Quantum Institute, a hybrid Quantum Data Center, and a Quantum Education Consortium to integrate research, computing, and workforce development.
This investment is part of a broader push by New York State to strengthen its position as a global leader in emerging technologies. By expanding research capacity and cultivating top talent, the hub aims to accelerate breakthroughs that address complex societal challenges while driving economic growth across the region. With strong support from state leadership and continued funding for higher education, Stony Brook is poised to become a premier global center for quantum science and technology.
Read more about the investment, it’s impact and Stony Brook’s role as a leader in the field on Stony Brook News here.

[post_content] =>
In early February, we welcomed leadership from Empire State Development (ESD), including its Division of Science, Technology and Innovation (NYSTAR) and New York Ventures, for a two-day visit focused on applied research, industry collaboration and economic development across New York State.
The visit spotlighted key teams throughout Stony Brook University, including the Center’s role in driving innovation through supporting hundreds of patents, licenses, and commercialization efforts to help translate breakthrough discoveries into real‑world medical and biotechnology applications. As our very own Clinton Rubin remarked, "We are excited by NYS’s commitment to harnessing Stony Brook’s research enterprise for economic impact, and building the life sciences innovation and entrepreneurship ecosystem here on campus, on Long Island and in our State.”
We’re excited to share more soon about how our Center is bringing its vision to life by accelerating the path from academic research to marketplace solutions.
