Three University of Arizona engineers are part of the newly established $115 million Superconducting Quantum Materials and Systems Center, led by the U.S. Department of Energy's Fermilab. The center aims to build a quantum computer and develop quantum sensors that could lead to discoveries about dark matter and other elusive subatomic particles.
"The SQMS Center will combine the theoretical and experimental expertise of individual research groups to advance long-term success of quantum technologies," said Bane Vasić, professor of electrical and computer engineering and mathematics and a member of the university's BIO5 Institute.
