The NSF is renewing its QLCI program with $290 million spread across eight institutes, each receiving roughly $28-37 million over five years. UCSB researchers Dan Blumenthal, Michel Devoret, Andrew Jayich, Ania Jayich and David Weld will work within Q-SEnSE, MARQUIS, and CIQC institutes, which combine research with industry partnerships spanning 19 states, 36 institutions and over 30 companies, alongside workforce training and K-12 education programs. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
