Interdisciplinary Programs

Designing, building and operating scalable and robust quantum devices is extremely challenging. What materials and conditions preserve quantum information the longest? How do we engineer machines that can reliably control qubits when our traditional engineering tools for classical computers cannot be used? What programming or machine language allows us to turn our desired outcomes into a sequence of qubit operations? Researchers at UD are working to answer these questions. Equally important, our QSE program seeks to build a shared base of knowledge and vocabulary among experts from a wide variety of disciplinary backgrounds so that they can collaborate more effectively when tackling these challenges.

Cutting-edge alliances with industry pioneers

The work and collaboration of our faculty branches far beyond the confines of the University of Delaware's labs and classrooms, Our participation in the quantum community enables us to keep abreast of and contribute to the latest developments in the technology. Our memberships in relevant organizations and additional affinity groups enable us to engage with representatives of other universities, as well as government labs, research centers, Fortune 500 companies, subject matter experts and nonprofits to advance the quantum ecosystem.
