QNM-I Builds on Early Momentum
February 20, 2026
In an effort to capitalize on the next wave of the quantum revolution, The University of New Mexico, along with partners including Sandia National Laboratories (SNL) and Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL)), are working hand-in hand to capitalize on the latest quantum revolution and chart a roadmap establishing the state of New Mexico as a national leader in QIS research, industry innovation, and workforce development.
The foundation for this statewide effort launched in January 2024 with the Quantum New Mexico Institute (QNM-I), an initiative that partnered UNM, SNL and LANL to turn quantum science into real-world impact while establishing New Mexico as a leader in the field. QNM-I is one of UNM's interdisciplinary, university-level research centers, advancing quantum information science and technology through collaborative research, education, and workforce development. By uniting academia, national laboratories, industry, and state and federal government, QNM-I accelerates innovation, strengthens the quantum workforce, and drives economic and societal impact—establishing New Mexico as a global leader in quantum information science and technology.
