NYC
New York City will make a $30 million investment in a new quantum research facility at New York University. The city will receive a 15 percent stake in proceeds from intellectual property developed in the lab. Called QFab, it is launching with $248 million in private and public support. NYU expects to hire about 15 new faculty for the effort and predicts it will spin-out 50 startups.
“In other countries the idea of taking shares of public investment is much more common,” Deputy Mayor for Economic Justice Julie Su said. “It has never been used at this scale in the city before.”

Yes, that Arnold Schwarzenegger.
He has a newsletter on beehiiv. So do Codie Sanchez, Jay Shetty, David Begnaud, Colin & Samir, and Joanna Stern.
They could publish just about anywhere. They chose beehiiv to build a direct connection with the people who want to hear from them most. And you can do the same, whether you’re world-famous or just at the start of your plan for world domination.
Optical frequency comb
Researchers at the University of Auckland and the University of Maryland demonstrated a method for building an optical frequency comb that could ultimately be shrunk to on-chip size, while maintaining the strong, low-noise, octave-spaced signals crucial for robust zero-frequency offset detection. The researchers performed three essential tasks with their demonstration, generating precise optical frequencies, producing low-noise millimeter-wave signals, and performing integrated optical clock readout.
This work was published in Nature.

Riverlane
Riverlane, with its focus on quantum-error correction, will establish a US headquarters and lab in the University of Maryland’s Discovery District. The UK’s Business Weekly noted a “hiring surge across research, engineering, commercial and operational roles” for the new location and an existing site in Boston.
Last week, Riverlane also announced a new partnership with NVIDIA focused on improving AI-based quantum calibration software.
