Physics professor Veronika Hubeny gave a presentation at the 28th Solvay Conference on Physics: The Physics of Quantum Information and participated in a panel discussion, a public event associated with the conference, moderated by Prof. David Gross alongside professors Edward Farhi, John Preskill, Michelle Simmons, and Peter Zoller. Prof.

UC Davis electrical and computer engineering (ECE) professor Marina Radulaski earned a OneQuantum award from QuEra Computing. Presented at a ceremony on December 7 at the Q2B conference in Santa Clara, the OneQuantum awards recognize “those who have made outstanding contributions to the advancement of global quantum technology.”

The Radulaski group at UC Davis' electrical and computer engineering department (ECE) has completed an international project on quantum emitter integration into nanodevices whose results have been published today in Nature Materials in a manuscript entitled Fabrication and nanophotonic waveguide integration of silicon carbide colour centres with preserved spin-optical coherence.

Martin Fraas, Assistant Professor of Mathematics, has been named a 2021 Hellman Fellow. He will be pursuing the project entitled Microscopic Theory of Anyons in the Fractional Quantum Hall Effect. The Hellman family inaugurated the Hellman Fellows Program in 1994 to support junior faculty research by making grants to junior faculty at 14 institutions: the ten campuses of the University of California along with the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Harvard Business School, Stanford University, and Williams College. Congratulations Martin!

UC Davis Computer Science is expanding its efforts in Quantum Information. Dr. Isaac Kim, a theorist working on quantum computing and quantum many-body physics, has joined the department as an Assistant Professor and an NSF Quantum Computing and Information Science Faculty Fellow.

Bruno Nachtergaele, distinguished professor of mathematics, has received a Carl Friedrich von Siemens Research Award in recognition of his lifetime achievements in mathematics. Given annually by the Alexander von Humboldt Foundation, award winners receive a 60,000 euro cash prize and a travel stipend to spend up to one year in Germany collaborating with colleagues on a long-term research project. 

Prof. Radulaski is developing quantum nanophotonic devices to enable the next generation of quantum hardware

Marina Radulaski, assistant professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering, has received a prestigious National Science Foundation CAREER award for the project entitled Scalable Quantum Photonics based on Color Center Integration with Angle-etched Silicon Carbide Devices. 

A team of students in the Radulaski Lab: Victoria Norman, Sridhar Majety, Jesse Patton and Liang Li, won the California division of the Qiskit Summer Jam Hackathon, sponsored by IBM.

Distinguished Professor of Mathematics Greg Kuperberg discussed quantum computing in the New York Times article "This Week in Tech: What on Earth Is a Quantum Computer?"
