"This new Quantum New Mexico partnership will be an essential ingredient in helping good ideas get their start in New Mexico, from research and development, all the way to commercialization, and larger-scale manufacturing…if we can all work together, and bring all of our resources to bear, I am confident that we can make New Mexico the best place for Quantum Science."
