The Wisconsin Quantum Institute (WQI) works to solve problems and advance our understanding of the physical world using the methods of quantum science and technology. WQI brings together research on quantum science and technology in the following areas:
-
- Quantum computing and networking: including superconducting, semiconducting and neutral atom qubits
- Quantum sensing: including sensing for navigation and inertial guidance, distributed sensing and chemical sensing
- Quantum materials: including exotic materials synthesis and growth, metasurfaces, and 2D materials and heterostructures fabrication and characterization
