Two QSEc researchers receive recognition for their work in Quantum Simulation of Chemical Dynamics.
This week, two researchers who work together on applying quantum simulators to tackle inherently complex problems in chemical dynamics, have each been recognized for their innovative work in this area. Professors Phil Richerme and Srini Iyengar have been working together (and also with Amr Sabry of Computer Science and Jeremy Smith of Chemistry) for some […]
2023 November: Hui Min Leung (ISE) and Chen-Ting Liao (Physics) join IU QSEc.
In November of 2023, professors Leung and Liao joiedn our ranks at QSEc from previous positions at JILA, University of Colorado Boulder. Together they are working on developing various structured and quantum states of light to study biosystems using advanced imaging and sensing techniques. Prof. Liao is also extending this work into the generation of […]
2023 October: Asst. Prof. Alexandru B. Georgescu joins IU Chemistry Dept. and IU QSEc
Assistant Professor Alexandru B. Georgescu works at the interface of materials chemistry and physics, particularly on quantum materials with novel building blocks – particularly correlated electron and topological materials. His group’s focus is on the interplay of local electronic order on known and new motifs (spin and charge order on d-orbitals, molecular orbitals and lone […]
In recognition of the variety and quality of the work being pursued by the QSEc membership, “Harnessing the power of quantum technology for advancing discoveries in new materials, information science and cybersecurity” has been recognized this month (October 2023) as one of the strategic objectives of the IUB 2030 strategic plan. QSEc will continue to […]
Assoc. Prof. Nicolas LaRacuente joins IU QSEc
In August of 2023 Professor Nick LaRacuente (Computer Science) joins our ranks at QSEc from a previous, IBM-sponsored, position at the University of Chicago. He works on the mathematics of quantum information, computation, and entropy to address a key challenge for quantum computing: realizing stable quantum dynamics at scale. Dually, Dr. LaRacuente identifies computational bottlenecks […]
Center for Quantum Technologies
In August 2022, NSF launches its first Industry-University Collaborative Research Center in Quantum Science: The Center for Quantum Technologies is announced by Indiana University, Purdue University and the University of Notre Dame. This center links researchers at Indiana’s four major research campuses with their counterparts at more than a dozen major corporations to pursue pre-competitive, […]
IU Alumnus named to National Quantum Initiative Advisory Board
Dr. James S. Clarke, Member, National Quantum Initiative Advisory Committee Dr. James S. Clarke is the Director of the Quantum Hardware research group within Intel’s Components Research Organization. Dr. Clarke launched Intel’s Quantum Computing effort in 2015. His group’s primary focus is to use Intel’s process expertise to develop scalable qubit arrays on 300 mm […]
Former IU physics undergraduate Josh Apanavicius will soon be the first to complete the new Indiana University MS degree program in Quantum Information Science. This degree program design was led by physics department professor W. M. Snow with help from many members of the IU Quantum Science and Engineering Center, was approved by the Indiana […]
Using the power of simulation to answer big questions about quantum materials
A physics lab and a woodshop might seem worlds apart, but for one professor at Indiana University, they have something in common: They’re both places where you can get your hands dirty. “I’m an experimentalist, not a theorist, which means I like to work with my hands,” says Phil Richerme, an assistant professor in the […]
When Babak Seradjeh was growing up, he was keen about astronomy. The cosmos was “the target for my imagination,” he says. “But then I came down to Earth.” What captures the IU physicist’s imagination now are the mysteries surrounding us in this world, what he calls “real science fiction.” In Seradjeh’s case, those mysteries have [...]
