Research at the Center for Quantum Science and Engineering connects fundamental quantum science with new technological capabilities. Our researchers bring together expertise in physics, engineering, computer science and business, combining theory, computation and experiment to better understand quantum systems, develop useful quantum technologies and explore fundamental questions about nature.
Our research spans quantum information and control, photonics and materials, quantum computing, communication, sensing and imaging. These areas support applications in fields including artificial intelligence, healthcare, finance and materials design, while also providing new tools to investigate the foundations of physics, including the interplay of quantum theory, gravity and space-time.
These directions are closely connected: scientific discoveries can lead to new technologies, while new technologies can open new paths to discovery.
