The MonArk Quantum Foundry is an NSF program jointly led by Montana State University and the University of Arkansas with a mission to accelerate two-dimensional materials research for quantum technologies. The rapid prototyping and characterization capabilities of the foundry will be used to serve a broad range of collaborators and users interested in the development of 2D materials and devices for quantum technologies. In this talk I will provide an introduction to the goals and capabilities of MonArk, which are centered on robotic and AI-assisted creation, identification, and fabrication of 2D quantum materials and devices. I will provide a status report on the development of these capabilities and an outlook for the collaborator and user program that will begin in 2024.
