Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction (CMQT)'s Third Annual Symposium

CQE members are invited to the third annual symposium of Northwestern University's Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction (CMQT), a US DOE-sponsored Energy Frontier Research Center.This two-day symposium will facilitate discussion of the critical concepts, materials, and methods currently being explored to achieve quantum computation, sensing, and communication. The CMQT mission is to develop the fundamental scientific understanding needed to carry out quantum-to-quantum transduction. Molecular architectures provide unmatched flexibility for tailoring the properties that are critical to quantum transduction, and molecular synthesis affords the opportunity to build novel molecular materials from the bottom-up, both of which are at the heart of our research. The CMQT interdisciplinary team of chemists, physicists, and materials scientists is working to develop molecular systems that offer an exceptional opportunity to explore the interfaces between quantum systems essential for quantum information science.



This year, principal investigators will meet on October 26 to discuss strategies for an upcoming renewal proposal followed by a late afternoon keynote address by David Awschalom (Chicago Quantum Exchange). On October 27, symposium speakers include Mark A. Eriksson (University of Wisconsin), Stephen Wilson (UC, Santa Barbara), Laura Gagliardi (University of Chicago), Paul S. Weiss (UCLA), and James Rondinelli (Northwestern University).
