The Centre for Nanoscience and Quantum Information (abbreviated NSQI) is a research center within the University of Bristol. The center opened in 2009[2] and was initially intended to serve multiple institutions; however, it was eventually absorbed into the School of Physics of the University of Bristol in 2016. The building was designed to provide a unique ultra-low-vibration research space, with some claims calling it "the quietest building in the world".[3][4]
