Quantum Information

Quantum information science involves the exploration and exploitation of features which rely on the quantum mechanical nature of reality.  The realization of a large quantum information processor could enable secure communication and quantum simulation of complex physical systems.  Active research at the UW includes work focused on new materials and possible physical realizations of multi-qubit processors as well as on theoretical aspects of quantum information. Major thrusts involve:

• Quantum materials and the Thouless Institute for Quantum Matter
• Quantum entanglement and duality
• Quantum devices and sensors
• Quantum simulation
