(WFSB) &#8211; Quantum technology is expected to transform lives and impact every single industry in Connecticut, and the state is going all in.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Governor Lamont and others cut the ribbon on the revamped Connecticut State Colleges and Universities Center for Quantum and Nanotechnology at Southern Connecticut State University. The goal is serving students, educators and industry partners while developing and training future employees.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Experts say quantum technology already plays a big role in everyday lives, from cell phones to medical devices. The next phase is expected to be quantum computing. Students at Southern are already working with the technology. Experts say it is the next generation of computing and problem solving, allowing users to do it faster.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cIt breaks them down into things that can be solved in few minutes,\u201d said Aspen Scully-Clemmons, a Southern Connecticut State University senior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Scully-Clemmons says calculations would otherwise take days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cAs quantum computing technology gets better, we\u2019ll be able to find drugs for deadly diseases faster, and we\u2019ll be able to find forms of energy storage faster,\u201d Scully-Clemmons said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cTo have more accurate, precise results when it comes to the problems that we want to solve, whether it\u2019s protein for medicine or finding the correct routes for ships and trucks\u2014think of anything computers do\u2014quantum could potentially enhance that even more,\u201d said Crosby Dessalines, a Southern Connecticut State University senior.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">This past summer the state announced a $50 million investment into research and job growth in New Haven, paired with Quantum CT and a private public partnership with Yale and UConn.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Research and training is key because experts say the quantum technology industry is expected to be worth $200 billion by 2040.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">\u201cThis is going to impact everyone, right? So if you think of finance and medicine, all of these technologies are going to impact citizens at all levels.
