Quantum made practical: U-M-led team advances in NSF center competition
The project aims to develop plug‑and‑play photonic chips that bring quantum‑light measurements out of the lab into field‑ready commercial devices.
New Quantum Device Models Chemical Quantum Dynamics
“Chemistry is the science of change, and chemical change often involves quantum dynamics. Chemists have been developing quantum rate theories for over a century but testing them experimentally proved to be incredibly challenging because of the limited control chemists have over the actual chemical systems that they do experiments on. Quantum simulators like the Kerr-Cat ...
Quantum Research Institute’s Zheshen Zhang Leads $9 million project funded by the U.S. Office of Naval Research
“Over the past few years, we discovered that entanglement can allow you to improve the performance of a sensor network in terms of the resolution — so you can actually detect finer details and take measurements faster than a conventional sensor network, with more sensitivity or higher signal-to-noise ratio. We want to put these technologies in the broader context of designing the next generation of quantum technologies — using quantum computing and networking resources to boost the performance of such devices.”
QRI Fellow Hui Deng awarded seed funding for AI-Driven Efficient Photonic Manufacturing under Uncertainty
Bold Challenges has awarded seed funding to 14 University of Michigan faculty teams to support projects that explore the intersection of AI and manufacturing.
$9M MURI explores the fundamental limits of distributed entangled quantum sensing
A new, multi-institution project led by ECE Prof. Zheshen Zhang aims to develop systems that reap the full benefit of quantum networks.
U-M quantum testbed enables remote experiments
The optical fibers connecting two quantum research labs at the University of Michigan mark the first piece of a local quantum network and remote user test facility.
Electronics breakthrough means our devices may one day no longer emit waste heat, scientists say
A new "optoexcitonic switch" already achieves state-of-the-art performance over current electronics and could serve as the basis for classical and quantum computing devices capable of operating at room temperature.
Nano-switch achieves first directed, gated flow of excitons
Moving excitons with light and a nano-ridge could help bridge optics and electronics, enabling new devices and faster, more efficient communication.
