8 UW students were invited to the Research Advancement Center (RAC) 1 to hear talks on quantum sensing and perform experiments utilizing Nitrogen Vacancy (NV) centers in diamond.
TQT hosted the Quantum for Environment Information Session: How Can Quantum Address Environmental Challenges on Thursday, February 15, 2024.
This year, we saw the quantum community come together with a particular focus on health and environment.
On October 24, TQT, GreenHouse and the Quantum Ethics Project jointly hosted the Quantum for Environment Lunch and Learn.
On September 18, TQT held the Quantum For Environment – Ideation Forum.
Quantum methods can lead to more efficient and precise solutions to environmental issues over conventional methods, accelerating the path to sustainability. Already, TQT-supported researchers have used quantumbased techniques to address environmental needs such as heavy metal detection, energy-efficient electronics, sustainable computing, and atmospheric monitoring.
TQT is introducing an annual design challenge to mine for innovative and impactful solutions to critical societal problems that can be enabled through quantum technologies.
Two-dimensional electron gases in quantum wells are a powerful resource for several quantum technology applications, including quantum sensing, metrology, and topological quantum computing.
The eighth round of the Quantum Quest Seed Fund (QQSF) was targeted at the Faculty of Arts and intended to encourage ideas and uncover opportunities from diverse fields outside of the scope of researchers working day-to-day with quantum devices. This resulted in project awards to Dr. Lai-Tze Fan, a Professor in the Department of Sociology & Legal Studies cross-appointed in the Department of English Language and Literature, and Dr. Igor Grossmann, a Professor in the Psychology Department, who both want to improve the accessibility and understanding of quantum.
Last week, TQT launched the Quantum for Environment (Q4Environment) Design Challenge.
