Academics and government officials met on Friday, May 31 to discuss the urgent need to collaborate to advance U.S. prowess in quantum information science. 鈥淚t鈥檚 really key that our high-strength quantum hubs are tied together so they鈥檙e complementary instead of competitive,鈥� said Terri Fiez, vice chancellor for research and innovation at CU Boulder.

Physics Professors Victor Gurarie and Michael Hermele have joined the newly established Simons Collaboration on Ultra-Quantum Matter. Led by Ashvin Vishwanath (at Harvard) and Hermele, the collaboration will study fundamentally quantum mechanical behavior arising in systems of a large number of electrons or atoms.

Rey鈥檚 research in atomic and molecular physics explores some of the most challenging and fundamental problems in physics. Working with experimentalists, her innovative theoretical work led to the development of the world鈥檚 most accurate atomic clocks. Rey has also developed and tested theories that will enable the construction of a quantum computer.

CU Boulder has a tradition of excellence in quantum science and technology. Work in the field continues on and off campus in the many companies that have been founded by CU engineering and physics faculty and former students.

The 乐播传媒 Boulder has joined the IBM Q Network鈥攁 global community of academic institutions, Fortune 500 companies, startups and research labs鈥攚ith the intent to seek collaborations with IBM Q scientists and engineers through the CUbit Quantum Initiative.

On April 17-18, CU Boulder representatives met with leadership at the White House, federal research agencies and in Congress to discuss the university's unique strengths in quantum research.

On February 25鈥�26, 2019, the 乐播传媒 Boulder joined other Association of American Universities (AAU) member institutions and industry representatives for the National Quantum Initiative (NQI) "fly-in" in Washington, DC.

In late February, five CU Boulder students flew to IBM's Yorktown, New York facility to participate in Q Camp, an intensive 3-day introduction to problem solving on IBM's quantum computing hardware.

The CU Boulder Research & Innovation Office announced the results of a new Quantum Explorations in Science and Technology (QuEST) funding opportunity made available in October 2018 to multi-disciplinary, trans-institutional research partnerships that will be competitive for future funding opportunities of the National Quantum Initiative and other quantum research solicitations.

On January 17, 2019, the 乐播传媒 Boulder announced the establishment of the CUbit (pronounced Q-bit) Quantum Initiative, a cross-campus initiative for quantum science and technology.
