MSU receives $26.7 million grant for quantum technology;
SMRC will support education and workforce development
With a new $26.7 million grant from the U.S. Air Force, Montana State University will
establish a facility with the mission of moving advanced quantum technology applications
in cybersecurity, communications technology and national defense from concept and
testing to market. The 20-month grant from the Air Force Research Laboratory in Rome,
New York, will support MSU’s Applied Quantum CORE facility.
The Science Math Resource Center will oversee education and workforce development, including creating programs that help youth, educators and community members learn more about quantum concepts and the quantum industry; and working with higher education institutions and industry to establish and promote career pathways and internships while exploring new training and educational programs at all levels.
