I study how to program a quantum computer to practically realize quantum algorithms. Quantum computers promise incredible speedups for tasks such as simulation, search, and optimization. However, achieving this speedup in practice forces us to fundamentally rethink the abstractions, such as data structures and control flow, that we use to write algorithms as programs. My research thus builds a new software stack of languages, libraries, and compilers to manipulate and reason about quantum information.

The first-ever WQI seminar took place on September 21!
We kicked off our first-ever WQI seminar last week hosting Lincoln Carr from the Colorado School of Mines!
The seminar series shares new ideas in QISE with an audience that is looking to advance their understanding of these concepts.
We look forward to welcoming our guests every month and the continued engagement of our faculty and students!
Partnerships bring together UW–Madison quantum computing research, industry leaders

Prof. Soley receives ACS Kavli Emerging Leader Award
Congratulations to Micheline Soley for receiving the American Chemical Society Kavli Emerging Leader Award!
The Kavli Foundation Lecture Series recognizes groundbreaking discoveries by scientists tackling many of the world’s mounting challenges; and in particular, the Emerging Leader Award is for distinguished younger scientist who is highly regarded by their peers for significant contributions to an area of chemistry and multidisciplinary areas of chemistry. The award is a keynote lecture and the only Kavli young investigator talk at the American Chemical Society meeting.
