Quantum Information Sciences

ANNOUNCEMENTS

EDA announces $504 million in funding to 12 designated tech hubs across America – The Colorado, New Mexico-based Elevate Quantum Tech Hub was awarded $41 million.

Sandia Welcomes 2024 Gil Herrera QIS Fellow Andrew Zhao – Andrew received his undergraduate degree from the University of Maryland and PhD degree from the University of New Mexico in Physics. In his current fellowship role, Andrew is pursuing research related to the interplay between quantum theory and computation. He also has interest in quantum algorithms, physical/chemical simulation, and complexity theory.

Quantum New Mexico – Sandia and the University of New Mexico create the Quantum New Mexico Institute, a cooperatively run research center headquartered at the university.

Sandia’s Quantum Information Program targets advances in the understanding and mastery of quantum systems for enabling the manipulation of information with greater sensitivity, speed, and security than is possible with classical information processing methods. The program spans the entire breadth of Quantum Information Science (QIS) through focused research programs and by utilizing its unique technical capability areas: micro-electronics and quantum device fabrication, nanotechnology, tailored materials, and high-performance computing. Sandia has expertise and capabilities in a variety of disciplines in both established and exploratory programs, as well as state-of-the-art facilities such as the Microsystems Engineering Science and Applications (MESA) Complex, the Center for Integrated Nano Technology (CINT), and the Ion Beam Laboratory (IBL).
