The competition is designed to acknowledge original research by high school students in a topic related to science, technology, engineering or math.

The award recognizes individuals or groups that provide extraordinary, notable or prestigious contributions that reflect favorably on the department and impact its mission

By dissecting and understanding the turbulent results that are possible when many quantum objects come together, Michael Gullans is helping to lay the groundwork for wielding quantum interactions to our advantage

Their paper presents the first fully verified optimizer for quantum circuits—called VOQC—implemented within a formal proof management system.

A paper by Daochen Wang (in photo) and Andrew Childs in QuICS explores current boundaries—and possible future advances—involving exponential quantum speedups.

The project will receive $450K over the next three years as part of the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Young Investigator Research Program.

Victor Albert and Michael Gullans arrived this fall and are now embedded within the QuICS research community.

The fellowship is an acknowledgment of accomplishments and contributions within the community of scientists who study light.

She is joined on the project by UMD faculty members Shihab Shamma, a professor of electrical and computer engineering and Behtash Babadi, an associate professor of electrical and computer engineering.

Each center is funded by a $115 million award from the Department of Energy as part of the National Quantum Initiative Act of 2018.
