@C2QAdvantage
We build the fundamental tools for creating quantum computers that provide a true advantage over their classical counterparts. #C2QA
The Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), led by @BrookhavenLab, is empowering the quantum revolution. #C2QA
Happy to see this work published and that we got to collaborate with the @andrei_faraon group under @C2QAdvantage!
Check out our latest article on exploring quantum many body physics with rare earth ion ensembles. Thanks to all the authors, especially Dr. Mi Lei for leading this work. nature.com/articles/s4156…
Congratulations to the 35 students and professors who completed QIS 101 this summer! 🎉 In six weeks, they tackled the equivalent of a 12-credit college course, diving into math, physics, and computer science topics that provide a foundation for real-world #quantum computing.

“There’s a quasi-infinite number of ways that you can mess up coherence." – #C2QA Director Andrew Houck. Hear how our researchers are improving coherence (and more!) to help realize fault-tolerant #quantum computing in this episode of The New Quantum Era. share.transistor.fm/s/9256a60d

A team at @IllinoisQuantum and @UofIGrainger demonstrate a new way to teleport #quantum information with high accuracy, even between photons of different frequencies, using specially designed optical cavities. 🔗journals.aps.org/prl/abstract/1…
Congratulations to #C2QA Director Andrew Houck (@nanonoodle) on being named dean of @EPrinceton! 👏 🎉
Professor Andrew Houck '00 has been appointed dean of @eprinceton, effective August 1: bit.ly/44CPh4S Houck co-directs the Princeton Quantum Initiative and leads the federally funded national quantum research center, @C2QAdvantage.
QIS 101 Guest Speaker Spotlight ⚛️ 🎤 Last week, #C2QA Deputy Director and @PNNLab researcher Kai-Mei Fu shared how #quantum information can transform technology, highlighted key challenges, and encouraged students to use their skills to help build real-world solutions.

Great #quantum opportunity with three different tracks for students, educators, and researchers ⬇️
In partnership with the National Quantum Algorithm Center and in celebration of #IYQ2025, SQMS and @IBM present a workshop focused on quantum algorithms and applications for both high-energy physics and chemistry. 🗓️ Aug. 18-20 📍 @thisisUIC tinyurl.com/57y876yh
Our QIS 101 students dove into the world of topological #quantum computing with Layla Hormozi, who leads the Quantum Computing group at @BrookhavenLabCS. Hormozi also shared key advice for aspiring interns: become familiar with quantum mechanics and develop strong coding skills.

#QuantumQuintet
Scientists at @uchiphysics, @stanford and @SLACLab show how to control individual photons at millimeter-wave frequencies using a special #qubit. This breakthrough could open a new part of the electromagnetic spectrum for #quantum technologies. ⚛️journals.aps.org/prxquantum/abs…
Researchers observed different tantalum orientations in superconducting #qubits, even with consistent fabrication. A recent #C2QA study reveals why: Oxygen content at the substrate's surface determines the direction of tantalum's deposition. bit.ly/43cvfyF

⚛️ QIS 101 Guest Speaker ⚛️ This week, our students met Carlos Ortiz Marrero from @PNNLab and @ColoradoStateU! He shared his journey into #quantum science, gave the students a glimpse into his cutting-edge work on quantum algorithms, and offered thoughtful grad school advice. 💡

Yesterday, COO Kimberly McGuire and #CFNatBrookhaven Director Charles Black kicked off QIS 101 with a powerful message for the students: This is just the beginning. The computing skills they gain in QIS 101 could help them solve the biggest scientific challenges of tomorrow.

More than 30 students are embarking on an exciting journey into quantum science with QIS 101: Foundations of Quantum Information Science! Over the next six weeks, they'll explore scientific computing, hear from #C2QA researchers, and develop #quantum algorithms using IBM Qiskit.

#QuantumQuintet
A team led by @IllinoisQuantum introduce a concept called “orthogonality broadcasting” to look closer at whether it's possible to copy the distinctiveness of #quantum states and share it with others. iopscience.iop.org/article/10.108…
Something strange happens at the metal-substrate interface in superconducting #qubits: The orientation of tantalum deposition varies, despite consistent fabrication. #C2QA researchers discovered why, and their findings could improve qubit performance. bit.ly/43cvfyF
#QuantumQuintet
Exciting #QuantumComputing news! Researchers, funded in part by the Quantum Science Center, have identified a new problem that quantum computers can solve more efficiently than classical computers, adding to the elusive list of quantum advantages. 🔗lanl.gov/media/news/052…
Local educators recently visited @BrookhavenLab to learn how to run #quantum algorithms on real quantum hardware using IBM Qiskit. Soon, they'll bring these hands-on exercises to their own high school classrooms as part of a quantum computing course inspired by #C2QA curriculum.
