“The Department of Commerce’s quantum investments announcement supporting related R&D and manufacturing by a number of our industry partners marks a defining moment for quantum innovation in the United States, and we are proud that, in particular, IBM’s first-of-its-kind quantum foundry will be headquartered here at NY Creates’ Albany NanoTech Complex. This investment will help unlock new computing capabilities, strengthen our high-tech ecosystem, and accelerate the path from research to commercialization. Today’s announcement represents what can be accomplished with collaboration and support at all levels, including strategic investments by Governor Hochul, steadfast support from Senate Minority Leader Schumer, and today’s commitment by the Trump administration, further enabling innovation with our partners across industry, government, and academia.”
