NSF Selects Five Additional Teams in National Quantum Virtual Laboratory Design Competition

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has selected five additional research teams to participate in the design phase of the National Quantum Virtual Laboratory (NQVL). Backed by a collective investment of $20 million, the expansion brings the program’s total portfolio to nine projects following the initial cohort selection. Each team will receive $4 million over a two-year timeline to formalize system blueprints that integrate computing hardware, secure communications networks, and precision sensors into a shared national infrastructure. The program aims to provide decentralized, remote access to specialized resources, aligning with federal mandates under the National Quantum Initiative Act to translate basic physics discoveries into scalable, real-world technologies.
