Bluefors and New York University Sign MoU to Advance Quantum Information Science
Bluefors is pleased to announce the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with New York University (NYU) to strengthen collaboration in quantum information science. This partnership brings together Bluefors’ expertise in cryogenic measurement systems and NYU’s leading research capabilities to support the next wave of innovation in quantum technologies.
Through this MoU, Bluefors and NYU will explore joint opportunities in research, education, and workforce development. The agreement creates a framework for co‑organized events, joint research initiatives, and new programs designed to train the future quantum workforce. The collaboration is aimed at advancing quantum computing, quantum materials, and related fields.
NYU has established the NYU Quantum Institute (NYUQI) to build a world‑class research hub in the heart of New York City. The Institute focuses on unlocking discoveries and applications of quantum information science across physics, engineering, materials science, computer science, biology, chemistry, and medicine. NYUQI is led by Javad Shabani, Professor of Physics, Director of the Center of Quantum Information Physics, and an expert in quantum materials and devices for computation technologies.
“Strong, sustained partnerships are essential to advancing quantum information science. As New York strengthens its position as a leading hub for quantum research and innovation, this partnership will accelerate progress by connecting cutting-edge science, skilled talent, and industry expertise. At NYU, we are focused on translating laboratory breakthroughs into real-world applications, and our partnership with Bluefors will accelerate this work,” says Javad Shabani.
The Institute brings together faculty and students from diverse disciplines and provides the tools and facilities needed to tackle major scientific and technological challenges. NYU has also launched a new MS in Quantum Science and Technology, becoming one of fewer than 20 U.S. institutions to offer a graduate degree specifically designed to prepare students for careers in emerging quantum industries.
“Supporting leading academic institutions is essential for the continued growth of the global quantum ecosystem,” says Sauli Sinisalo, Vice President & General Manager of Bluefors. “This collaboration with NYU allows us to engage directly with researchers, share expertise, and help train the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers. We’re proud to support NYU’s vision and excited about what we can achieve together.”
This partnership reflects Bluefors’ commitment to enabling world‑class research and supporting the global quantum ecosystem. As an industry partner for academia, Bluefors helps train the future quantum workforce by offering industry exposure and pathways into the quantum sector. We look forward to working closely with NYU to drive impactful scientific progress and create new opportunities for the international quantum community.
