Princeton University will have a major leadership role in a new Co-Design Center for Quantum Advantage, headquartered at Brookhaven National Laboratory and funded by the U.S. Department of Energy. The center will receive up to $115 million over five years to develop materials, devices, software and applications that will serve as a platform for the next generation of quantum computing capabilities. The goal is to overcome the limitations of today’s early stage quantum computers.
