This article notes that NIST awarded Stony Brook University $1 million in fiscal year 2023 to establish the Long Island Quantum Internet Center. While the text references NIST’s cybersecurity standards and guidelines, it does not describe a specific quantum computing standard or protocol. The center is currently in the implementation phase, supported by the Research Foundation for the State University of New York.
NIST is working with local universities to advance technology through research and workforce development, including a focus on skilled professionals in cybersecurity and quantum applications. Although the article does not provide detailed technical specifications or a final completion date for the quantum center, the funding aims to strengthen New York’s technology ecosystem. This effort supports broader goals of improving infrastructure reliability and economic growth in the region.
