Scale is the defining hurdle for quantum technology. Advances in superconducting qubits and laser-cooled atoms have moved from laboratory curiosities to fueling NASDAQ-listed companies. Yet the real barrier is connecting these breakthroughs into cohesive, large-scale architectures capable of real-world impact.

At Stony Brook University, that challenge is being tackled head-on through real-world experiments. Partnering with the nearby Brookhaven National Laboratory, researchers are building the foundation for scalable quantum networks, from record-breaking quantum teleportation to free-space links spanning Long Island.

Kevin Gardner, vice president for research and innovation at Stony Brook, sees these efforts as a turning point. "Along with major research grants and collaborations, you start to see the vision: we're striving to make this region the hub of a future quantum economy."
