Jun Ye in front of wiresIn January 2019, the university launched the CUbit Quantum Initiative, a cross-campus initiative for quantum science and technology.听

The news followed the passage of the National Quantum Initiative Act, which positions quantum information science and technology at the top of the U.S. science and technology agenda by authorizing $1.2 billion over 10 years for quantum science research and education centers.

A collaboration among 澳门六合彩历史记录, the NIST Quantum Physics Division (the NIST portion of ) and quantum-related industry partners along Colorado鈥檚 Front Range, CUbit forms a foundation for local, regional and national quantum efforts engaging universities, industry and government.听

CUbit Director Jun Ye, professor adjoint of physics and fellow of JILA and NIST, believes the initiative鈥檚 timing is ideal for the university and the nation: 鈥淐Ubit will train the next generations of 澳门六合彩历史记录 scientists and engineers to lead the emerging quantum revolution.鈥
