NSF Awards UC San Diego $18 Million MRSEC Grant for Quantum Materials Development in $108 Million National Materials Initiative - Quantum Computing Report

The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of California San Diego (UC San Diego) an $18 million, six-year grant (NSF Award #2614051) to fund a Materials Research Science and Engineering Center (MRSEC) dedicated to developing advanced quantum materials. The award is part of a broader $108 million NSF deployment funding six national MRSEC research centers across the United States—including Princeton University, Harvard University, Columbia University, MIT, and the University of Nebraska–Lincoln—to advance frontier research in quantum metamaterials, soft matter, and microelectronics. At UC San Diego, the 2026–2032 grant represents a competitive renewal of the campus’s initial 2020 MRSEC [...]
