New York details $360M quantum capital plan, anchored by $300M Stony Brook hub
Governor Kathy Hochul and Empire State Development's NYSTAR outlined priorities for a $360 million quantum capital allocation enacted in the FY 2027 state budget. Of that, $300 million goes to a Quantum Research and Innovation Hub at SUNY Stony Brook, with a planned 150,000-square-foot facility and a university-hosted hybrid quantum data center targeted for 2029, and $60 million will fund up to four Regional Quantum Technology Commercialization Hubs. The article says the state package aligns with federal CHIPS and Science Act awards finalized in September 2026, including $1 billion for Anderon (matched by $1 billion from IBM) for an open 300mm superconducting quantum foundry at NY Creates' Albany NanoTech Complex, and $375 million for GlobalFoundries' Quantum Technology Solutions in Malta. NYSTAR will run selection of the regional hubs, which will focus on open-access test facilities, startup incubation and shared technical resources.
