Leading Quantum at an Inflection Point
By The Office of the Vice President for Research in the Department of PhysicsMIT Endicott House was recently featured in MIT News, which reported on how MIT’s new Quantum Initiative (QMIT) aims to harness emerging quantum capabilities at a critical inflection point for the field. The article explains how QMIT will unite researchers across MIT and partners in industry and government to co-develop quantum computers, sensors, networks, and simulations that target high-impact problems, while noting Endicott House’s historic role hosting the seminal 1981 Physics of Computation Conference that helped launch the modern era of quantum computing. Read an excerpt of the article below:
Danna Freedman is seeking the early adopters.
She is the faculty director of the nascent MIT Quantum Initiative, or QMIT. In this new role, Freedman is giving shape to an ambitious, Institute-wide effort to apply quantum breakthroughs to the most consequential challenges in science, technology, industry, and national security.
The interdisciplinary endeavor, the newest of MIT President Sally Kornbluth’s strategic initiatives, will bring together MIT researchers and domain experts from a range of industries to identify and tackle practical challenges wherever quantum solutions could achieve the greatest impact.
