How UC Berkeley Is Expanding Quantum Research and Education
Berkeley physics professor speaks about the state of quantum information science on campus.
Fundamental Physics to Build Computers of the Future
Hartmut Haeffner, a 2022 Fellow with the UC Noyce Initiative, studies the properties and behaviors of isolated atoms— potential building blocks for quantum computers.
Trapped Ions Share a Wired Connection
Scientists at the University of California, Berkeley have persuaded two trapped ions to interact over a distance of 620 µm – much larger than would be possible via their intrinsic interaction – by connecting them with a room-temperature wire. This proof-of-principle experiment provides a pathway to more precise measurements of fundamental physics based on long-distance interactions between trapped particles.
UC Berkeley to lead $25 million quantum computing center
As part of the federal government’s effort to speed the development of quantum computers, the National Science Foundation (NSF) has awarded the University of California, Berkeley, $25 million over five years to establish a multi-university institute focused on advancing quantum science and engineering and training a future workforce to build and use quantum computers.
Quantum computer as detector shows space is not squeezed
UC Berkeley physicists used partially entangled atoms identical to the qubits in a quantum computer to demonstrate more precisely than ever before – to one part in a billion billion – that space is uniform in all directions and not squeezed.
Five Early-Career Faculty Named Rose Hills Innovators
Five faculty researchers from diverse departments have been selected as the first recipients of support from the new Rose Hills Innovator Program at UC Berkeley.
