Between 2008 and 2016 (the most recent was 1 April 2016), Prof. Seth Lloyd of MIT's Department of Mechanical Engineering, published 19 papers in which he acknowledged Jeffrey Epstein as a funding source. Here are four title pages (including the most recent), and acknowledgements.

Another organisations which was acknowledged in 2 out of those 4 papers was the W.M. Keck Foundation.

The Keck Foundation Center for Extreme Quantum Information Theory has been established at RLE under directive to investigate the fundamental limitations to quantum computing, communications, sensing and control. Seth Lloyd and Jeff Shapiro will lead the initiative.
Seth Lloyd was one of the scientists receiving funding from Epstein : http://www.jeffreyepstein.org/Jeffrey_Epstein.html
The Jeffrey Epstein VI Foundation has supported many leading scientists including Stephen Hawkings, Martin Nowak, Gregory Benford, Lee Smolin, Seth Lloyd, Lawrence Krauss, Artificial Intelligence scientist, Marvin Minsky and Nobel Laureates Gerard 't Hooft, David Gross and Frank Wilczek.
And this is the kind of stuff he is involved in: MIT team genetically engineers a quantum virus for efficient energy transport
Article: Could a robot help your child learn a language?
The device, called the Robot Avatar Thermal-Enhanced prototype (or, more commonly, RAVE) could someday hang above an infant’s crib, detect when they’re ready to learn, and then begin to communicate with them. It’s with an avatar that uses American Sign Language at a certain, optimal pace. It’s the product of a three-year, $1.1 million grant from the NSF and nearly $1 million of additional funding from the W.M. Keck Foundation and builds on research that Petitto has done for decades.
WM Keck Foundation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W._M._Keck_Foundation
The W. M. Keck Foundation is an American charitable foundation supporting scientific, engineering, and medical research in the United States. It was founded in 1954 by William Myron Keck, founder and president of Superior Oil Company (now part of ExxonMobil). The Foundation's trust fund currently has assets in excess of $USD1 billion.
From its founding until his death in 1964, the Foundation was led by William Myron Keck. From 1964 to 1995, it was led by W. M. Keck's son, Howard B. Keck. Robert Addison Day, W. M. Keck's grandson has been chairman and president since 1996. ..Some of the more notable projects that have received funding from the Keck Foundation include:
-
Keck Institute for Space Studies, established in 2008, a joint institute of the California Institute of Technology and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory
-
1999: Expansion of the Keck School of Medicine at the University of Southern California in Los Angeles, California, $110 million
-
The W.M. Keck Building Center for fMRI & the W.M. Keck Foundation Center for Ocean-Atmosphere Research at the University of California, San Diego
-
W.M.Keck Earth Science and Metal Engineering Museum at the Mackay School of Earth Sciences and Engineering, whose renovation the foundation funded, at the University of Nevada, Reno
The Keck Foundation has been a long-time supporter of public television in Southern California, including underwriting the broadcast of Sesame Street on KCET since the 1970s.
2012 French article on Addison Day (translated) From the Bush clan to Société Générale: Robert Addison Day's baraka
https://hichamhamza.wordpress.com/2012/09/21/robert-addison-day/
By his success and his discretion, he is one of the best representatives of the transatlantic super elite: his name is Robert Addison Day.
Heir to a Californian oil magnate, he wove his first politico-financial contacts in the most select networks of the East Coast. His interpersonal skills and his wealth quickly lead him to become indispensable in the eyes of the Washington seraglio. Man of influence and man of the shadow, RAD will quickly be able to integrate the "Holy of Holies": the microcosm of the American secret services. Its access to the world of intelligence will enhance its prestige with its trading partners, particularly French. In April 2001, Societe Generale gives itself the skills of this well-informed American ...
Jérôme Kerviel and Robert Day: cross destinies - https://hichamhamza.wordpress.com/2012/10/24/jerome-kerviel-robert-day/ (translated)
On 24 October 2012, Jérôme Kerviel, a former trader at Société Générale, was sentenced to five years in prison, including three years in prison, by the Paris Court of Appeal. He must also repay the 4.9 billion euros he had lost to his former employer.
In 2010, the Autorité des marchés financiers cleared Robert Addison Day , suspected of insider trading. This American billionaire, close to the Secret Service and the Bush clan, had become a member of the Board of Directors of Société Générale after having transferred to the French bank the property of his financial company, based in Los Angeles and named TCW (Trust Company of the West). It specialized in CDOs, financial products with subprime risks. Through its US subsidiary, Société Générale invested $ 40 billion in these risky investments.
In January 2008, just before the scandal of the Kerviel affair, Robert Day had sold more than 125 million euros of bank securities. The losses attributed then to Jérôme Kerviel - $ 4.9 billion - would not have been brought to the attention of the Californian businessman. He could not, however, ignore the gloomy prognosis of the Societe Generale about the US subprime market. By November 2007, the French bank had estimated their cost at 203 million euros before having to readjust, on January 24, 2008-day of scandal Kerviel, this figure to 2.6 billion euros.
Suspected a time, with the head of the investment division Jean-Pierre Mustier, to have fraudulently obtained a benefit of confidential information, Robert Day will finally be "out of cause" . Like its predecessor, the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Autorité des Marchés Financiers is often accommodating when it comes to tracking insider trading that may be committed by senior executives.
Since leaving Societe Generale, Robert Day has devoted himself entirely to his investments in the United States. The man, who joined the management of Société Générale in April 2001, will no longer be able to enlighten a Sybillin comment formulated in 2009 by Jérôme Kerviel. In off, the former trader had told Elisabeth Fleury, a journalist in Paris, that his former bank would make a record gain through the consequences on the stock markets , a terrorist act.
" The best deals in the history of Société Générale were made on September 11, 2001. That's what one of my managers told me. It seems that that day the profits made were colossal "
Société Générale https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soci%C3%A9t%C3%A9_G%C3%A9n%C3%A9rale
Société Générale is France's third largest bank by total assets,[4] sixth largest in Europe[5] or seventeenth by market capitalization.[6] The company is a component of the Euro Stoxx 50 stock market index.[7] It is known as one of the Trois Vieilles ("Old Three") of French banking, along with BNP Paribas and Crédit Lyonnais.
...In 2001, Société Générale acquired a controlling interest in the TCW Group. The TCW Group, which was founded in 1971, was originally known as Trust Company of the West and is the parent of TCW/Crescent Mezzanine one of the leading mezzanine capital firms in the US.[17][18] The TCW Group operated as a subsidiary of Société Générale Asset Management until it was sold to Carlyle Group.
The Group has a long-term active and generally very discreet support policy. Its sponsorship of rugby is well-known, but its support in other fields such as music, contemporary art, disabled sport (as an official partner of the Fédération Française Handisport, the French Federation for Disabled Sports) and corporate citizenship, professional integration and disadvantaged children, is less known.
