UMBC launches new Quantum Science Institute!

UMBC recently launched the Quantum Science Institute (QSI) -- an interdisciplinary research and teaching facility composed of faculty and students from 4 academic departments at UMBC (Physics, CSEE, Math/Stats, and IS). "UMBC has a decades-long history of pioneering research in quantum information science - with people like Yanhua Shih, Mort Rubin, and Jim Franson in the Physics Department, and Sam Lomonoco in CSEE. QSI builds on this foundation with a new generation of fantastic quantum faculty across the campus. It's a great day for quantum at UMBC - we are all very excited by the interdisciplinary nature of QSI" says Dr. Todd Pittman, Professor of Physics and inaugural Director of QSI. The full story on the launch can be found here.



Representatives from all of the departments involved in the new QSI recently attended a launch event.
