QuICS researchers are active in several interdisciplinary projects that explore novel ways to engage people in thinking about the counterintuitive aspects of quantum physics.

UMD researchers are partnering with the Language Science Station at Planet Word to explore how people from different backgrounds rely on imperfect language translations generated by artificial intelligence.

In a recent paper, QuICS researchers Zohreh Davoudi and Alexey Gorshkov collaborated with others to present a novel simulation method, discussing what insights the simulations might provide about the creation of particles during energetic collisions.

The program pairs visiting students in small groups with Maryland faculty and graduate students, exploring diverse topics that include machine learning and AI, quantum simulation, parallel algorithms, and more.

As chair, he oversees one of the largest computer science programs in the country, with more than 3,800 undergraduates who can pursue a specialization in cybersecurity, data science, machine learning and quantum information.

He says he is honored, noting the center’s rapid growth and its continued success in advancing theoretical and experimental research involving quantum algorithms, quantum cryptography, quantum error correction, and more.

Two of the eight—Min Wu and John Horty—were named a Distinguished University Professor, considered the most prominent academic distinction on campus.

The research funding comes from the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, a philanthropic effort launched in 2015 by Meta founder Mark Zuckerberg and his wife, Priscilla Chan.

The $360K grant from the Army Research Office will support a three-year project to develop a system that uses high-speed cameras and machine learning algorithms to instantaneously create clearer images.

He was part of a team recognized for their contributions to algorithm engineering, including several frameworks that revolutionized large-scale graph processing on shared-memory machines.
