Austin · Central Texas
The University of Texas at Austin
The state's largest concentration of quantum researchers, and its first state-funded metrology lab.
Quantum work here runs across physics, chemistry, engineering and computer science. The Texas Quantum Institute coordinates more than thirty groups.
State money landed here first: $4.8 million from the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund in December 2025, for QLab, a metrology facility rather than a computer. A supply chain needs measurement before anything else.
