Harvard University announced today one of the world’s first PhD programs in Quantum Science and Engineering, a new intellectual discipline at the nexus of physics, chemistry, computer science and electrical engineering with the promise to profoundly transform the way we acquire, process and communicate information and interact with the world around us....

Congratulations to Prof. Julia Mundy on her receipt of the 2021 Star-Friedman Challenge for Promising Scientific Research for her proposal, “An Interfacial Platform for Faultless Quantum Computing.”

The prize provides seed funding to interdisciplinary high-risk, high-impact projects in the life, physical, and social sciences that, because of its originality and high-risk approach, may not receive support through traditional funding channels. It expands opportunities for Harvard researchers to pursue ever more novel areas of inquiry, unburdened by the constraints...

Professors Roxanne Guenette and Carlos Argüelles-Delgado have been selected as 2021 Alfred P. Sloan Research Fellows in Physics. 

Awarded annually since 1955, Sloan Fellowships honor extraordinary U.S. and Canadian early-career scientists whose creativity, innovation, and research accomplishments make them stand out as the next generation of scientific leaders.

“A Sloan Research Fellow is a rising star, plain and simple” says Adam F. Falk, president of the Alfred P. Sloan Foundation. “To receive a Fellowship is to be told by the scientific community...
