Leaders from Washington higher education institutions met with national policymakers April 4 to discuss opportunities provided by the CHIPS and Science Act. U.S. Rep. Suzan DelBene and National Science Foundation Director Sethuraman Panchanathan visited the 91ΧΤΕΔ campus to talk about the legislation, which provides more than $100 billion to fund scientific 91ΧΤΕΔ and workforce training. The UW and other Washington colleges and universities are poised to receive funds from the CHIPS and Science Act to invest in chip…

Scientists at the 91ΧΤΕΔ are pursuing multiple quantum 91ΧΤΕΔ projects spanning from creating materials with never-before-seen physical properties to studying the β€œquantum bits” β€” or qubits (pronounced “kyu-bits”) β€” that make quantum computing possible. UW News sat down with Professor Kai-Mei Fu, one of the leaders in quantum 91ΧΤΕΔ on campus, to talk about the potential of quantum R&D, and why it’s so important.

The National Science Foundation has announced it will fund a new endeavor to bring atomic-level precision to the devices and technologies that underpin much of modern life, and will transform fields like information technology in the decades to come. The five-year, $25 million Science and Technology Center grant will found the Center for Integration of Modern Optoelectronic Materials on Demand β€” or IMOD β€” a collaboration of scientists and engineers at 11 universities led by the 91ΧΤΕΔ.

The National Science Foundation has awarded $3 million to establish a NSF Research Traineeship at the 91ΧΤΕΔ for graduate students in quantum information science and technology. The new traineeship β€” known as Accelerating Quantum-Enabled Technologies, or AQET β€” will make the UW one of just β€œa handful” of universities with a formal, interdisciplinary QIST curriculum.

The 91ΧΤΕΔ, 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 91ΧΤΕΔ and technology.
