Meet a PI with David Awschalom – March 22

David Awschalom

Mark your calendars: On Tuesday, March 22, Q-NEXT hosts the first meeting of its new Meet a PI series with Q-NEXT Director David Awschalom.

The meeting takes place from 1-2:15 p.m. ET / 10-11:15 a.m. PT.

In the series, students and postdocs will have the chance to chat with PIs throughout the center. These informal, virtual get-togethers will be opportunities to ask questions about PIs’ research, career advice, and anything else that’s on the mind of early-career researchers.

Awschalom is the Liew Family professor of molecular engineering and vice dean for research and infrastructure at the Pritzker School of Molecular Engineering at the University of Chicago. He is also an Argonne senior scientist and the director of the Chicago Quantum Exchange.

Email [email protected] with questions. A calendar invitation has been sent to Q-NEXT students and postdocs.

    Argonne scientist Benjamin Pingault, a researcher at the Q-NEXT quantum center, creates color centers — qubits made by manipulating single atoms within a crystal — and emphasizes the importance of creativity and adaptability for fruitful collaboration. Read More

  • New technique paves way for hybrid quantum networks

    From the University of Chicago: Liang Jiang and his postdoctoral associate Zhaoyou Wang have developed a new scheme to send quantum information through transducers. Using their technique, they found they could send a full qubit’s information through a channel, paving the way for hybrid quantum networks. The results were published in Physical Review X. Read More
