The Center for Quantum Science and Engineering has convenient access to state-of-the-art research facilities both within the university and in the area.
We house two of our affiliated laboratories on Stevens' Hoboken campus, while partnering with interdisciplinary locations in New York City and on Long Island.
Next-generation technology based on quantum photonics promises to transform our society in a multitude of domains: cyber security, financial engineering, renewable energy, defense, biology, medicine, big data, etc.
In recent years, we have witnessed encouraging progress in theoretical and laboratory development of quantum photonic systems and techniques, whose results have heralded a range of robust applications in industry and defense, including secure communications, remote sensing, and metrology.
Fueled by this prospect, there has been focused support from both the governmental and industrial sectors across the continent for studying and developing practical quantum photonics technology and devices. Yet, major breakthroughs must be made, mostly in the areas of engineering, before compact, robust, and resilient quantum devices and systems can be mass produced and deployed.
The “Stevens Quantum Campus” project is commissioned to promote innovative quantum engineering and technology through carefully structured synergy among faculty and students across disparate disciplines. The Stevens Quantum Campus will provide a multiscale testbed for:
Analyzing and testing new quantum devices and techniques
Identifying and addressing critical challenges facing quantum technology transition
Stimulating system engineering research on complex quantum networks
Bridge quantum research with industrial R&D and facilitate entrepreneurship and technology commercialization
Create broader impact and promote Stevens to be a world’s topmost institute in quantum engineering, where students enjoy access to and take part in creating transformative technology of tomorrow
The MicroDevice Laboratory explores military systems applications of emerging nanotechnologies that include: nanoelectronics, nanophotonics, micro/nano sensors and actuators, microchemical systems, nanoenergetics, and nanoscale energy harvesting.
The Laboratory for Multiscale Imaging (LMSI) houses instrumentation that provides imaging capabilities to study both synthetic and biological materials from macroscopic to microscopic length scale.
CRAFT connects Stevens researchers with industry and academic partners to advance financial technologies, including quantum computing and communications, while creating opportunities for students to engage in industry-driven research.
Located on the south end of the City College of New York campus in Upper Manhattan, and across the Hudson river from Stevens, the striking, 200,000-square-foot ASRC building embodies a bold vision of 21st Century discovery. At the center’s core is a world-class facility designed to inspire an innovative approach to the scientific method itself, one that links a new wave of talented scientists with hundreds of top researchers from CUNY campuses across the city. The ASRC focuses CUNY initiatives in five of the most energized areas of global research: nanoscience, photonics, structural biology, neuroscience, environmental sciences.
Brookhaven National Laboratory is a multipurpose research institution funded primarily by the U.S. Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Located less than 80 miles from Stevens, Brookhaven Lab operates cutting-edge large-scale facilities for studies in physics, chemistry, biology, medicine, applied science, and a wide range of advanced technologies. The Laboratory has almost 3,000 scientists, engineers, and support staff.
