New York City announced a $29.2 million award to New York University to establish a Quantum Fabrication Facility.

New York City announced that it will award $29.2 million to New York University to establish the facility, identified as QFab. The announcement concerns funding for establishing a fabrication facility, not a statement that the facility has opened.

The announcement was made by Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani, Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su, and New York City Economic Development Corporation President and CEO Anthony Shorris. NYU is the named recipient of the city award.

The supplied excerpt does not specify the facility’s equipment, fabrication processes, research access arrangements, or completion date. It also gives no qubit count or quantum-computer performance figure, so the award should not be described as the deployment of a particular quantum computing system.
