A Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ-led center for optoelectronics — technologies that combine light and electronics — brings researchers from 14 universities across the U.S. together with the mission to develop new materials to transform information technology with light. Founded in 2021, NSF IMOD has received a second round of funding from the NSF to continue its work for the next five years.

This week, attend the Frontiers of Physics Lecture, listen to a conversation with Julia Quinn the author of the Bridgerton series, head to the Burke Museum to celebrate International Archaeology Day, and more. October 17, 7:30pm | Frontiers of Physics Lecture | More perfect than we imagined: A physicist’s view of life, Kane Hall Among the most striking everyday phenomena is the emergence of life from inanimate matter. William Bialek, professor at Princeton University, will explain how we know this everyday phenomena,…

Scientists at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ are pursuing multiple quantum research projects spanning from creating materials with never-before-seen physical properties to studying the “quantum bitsâ€� — or qubits (pronounced “kyu-bits”) — that make quantum computing possible. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ News sat down with Professor Kai-Mei Fu, one of the leaders in quantum research on campus, to talk about the potential of quantum R&D, and why it’s so important.

The National Science Foundation has awarded $3 million to establish a NSF Research Traineeship at the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ for graduate students in quantum information science and technology. The new traineeship — known as Accelerating Quantum-Enabled Technologies, or AQET — will make the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ one of just “a handfulâ€� of universities with a formal, interdisciplinary QIST curriculum.

The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµ, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory and Microsoft Quantum announced this week that they have joined forces in a new coalition, the Northwest Quantum Nexus, to bring about a revolution in quantum research and technology.
