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!

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.
Announcing the Wisconsin Quantum Computing Club (WQCC)!
The Wisconsin Quantum Computing Club has just formed! Anyone interested should fill this form out.
The first meeting is on Thursday, February 9th from 7:00pm to 8:00pm, in the CS Building, Room 1221.
Preston Huft wins Wiki Science Photo Contest
Preston Huft, a graduate student in Mark Saffman’s group, was notified this week that he won the SmartElectron prize in the 2021 Wiki Science Photo Contest. Congratulations Preston!
Finding some wiggle room in semiconductor quantum computers
A new housing for quantum semiconductors upends conventional wisdom, achieving more perfect computations thanks to its less-than-perfect design.

As a member of CQE, WQI has now better-than-public access to the IBM Q systems (up to Guadelupe, 16 qubit system).
To find out more about how to sign up for this capability please contact Katerina Moloni.
Welcome, Roman Kuzmin, the Dunson Cheng Assistant Professor of Physics
In the modern, cutting-edge field of quantum computing, it can be a bit puzzling to hear a researcher relate their work to low-tech slide rules. Yet that is exactly the analogy that Roman Kuzmin uses …
