CU Boulder has been selected to launch and lead a new science and engineering research center to听explore the biggest challenges of the quantum world鈥攆rom better understanding how the atoms in听an atomic clock 鈥渢ick鈥� to how those processes can improve the science of measurement and probe听for mysterious dark matter.
The Quantum Systems through Entangled Science and Engineering (Q-SEnSE) center, funded听by the National Science Foundation and led by Fellow , is a major component of the听campus CUbit Quantum Initiative. Q-SEnSE includes 37 researchers from 12 U.S. and international听organizations and will bring together physicists and engineers to turn fundamental scientific听advances into real-world technologies.
鈥淚magine if we can build robust quantum systems that can go outside of our labs, that can听completely change how we sense the physical world, how we navigate and how we communicate听with each other,鈥� Ye said.
