Northwestern INQUIRE

Thank you to @PsiQuantum for joining the INQUIRE students and postdocs for N'Tangled. #research #quantum #quantuminformationscience #QISE #photonics #quantumcomputing

We're excited to announce Northwestern Quantum Week (April 20–24, 2026) at @NorthwesternU! A full week of workshops, symposia, and conversations bringing together leaders across the #quantum ecosystem. Learn more and register at our website here: quantum.northwestern.edu/events/northwe…

How do we bridge today’s limited quantum hardware with tomorrow’s breakthroughs? A recent @NorthwesternU workshop brought researchers together to explore the #quantum software stack. Read more here: quantum.northwestern.edu/news-and-stori… #quantumsoftware #computerscience #QIS

How do we turn quantum promise into scalable reality? @NorthwesternU @northwesterncs professor Kate Smith is advancing #quantum #computing through software, error mitigation, and hardware-aware optimization – helping today’s systems do more, faster. quantum.northwestern.edu/news-and-stori…

How do we secure quantum computers as they move to the cloud? A new symposium at @NorthwesternU brought together academia, industry, and government to tackle #quantum #computer #cybersecurity. Read more: quantum.northwestern.edu/news-and-stori…

Molecule-based magnets could power #quantum devices, but they’re highly air-sensitive. A team led by Mark Hersam were able to stabilize the material while preserving its magnetic properties, making it compatible with #superconducting circuits. Read more: mccormick.northwestern.edu/news/articles/…

DOE has awarded a second @sqmscenter grant to scale a new #quantumcomputing platform led by @Fermilab. With PI James Rondinelli, @NorthwesternU will help build materials, software, and hardware for scalable quantum systems. #SQMS #INQUIRE More here: tinyurl.com/2s43jp33

.@ENERGY has renewed the @sqmscenter for the next five years to accelerate breakthroughs in quantum information science! @doescience's investment unites experts to advance the next generation of quantum computing, communication and sensing technologies. news.fnal.gov/2025/11/fermil…

Congrats to Gregory Fuchs of @Cornell University for his @APSphysics fellowship! He's been recognized by his peers for exceptional contributions to #research, #education, #leadership, and #publicservice. Read more here: aps.org/funding-recogn…

Cleaner quantum light = better quantum tech. A simple #molecular coating developed by @NorthwesternU's Mark Hersam makes single-photon sources more stable, pure, and scalable—paving the way for secure #quantum communication. mccormick.northwestern.edu/news/articles/… @NorthwesternEng @NUChemistry

Big news for #quantum! Congratulations to the #NobelPrize winners in #Physics "for the discovery of macroscopic quantum mechanical tunnelling and energy quantisation in an electric circuit."

Thanks to everyone who joined us for our second N’Tangled event! Grateful to Mark Kazour (Research Safety Student Initiative) + Prem Kumar (McCormick) for sharing #research and #quantum insights. Big shout out to leaders Kate Smith & Ryan Young for another great event!

New from @songihanlab + Michael Wasielwski: “Coherent Control over Nuclear Hyperpolarization Using an Optically Initializable Chromophore-Radical System”. #quantum #nuclearspin Read more in @J_A_C_S 👉 pubs.acs.org/doi/full/10.10… @nuINQUIRE | @CMQTnu

#Quantum research just got a boost. #INQUIRE physicist Jens Koch and team are partnering with @nvidia to accelerate #quantumresearch. By integrating GPUs into their open-source scQubits package, they're unlocking new possibilities in quantum computing. tinyurl.com/3fkekv4e

First time silicon #chip not only generates #quantum #photonics, but it also has its own built-in smart electronic system to keep that light perfectly stable. Read more here: news.northwestern.edu/stories/2025/0…

#Quantum is more than just physics. At @NorthwesternU, researchers like Mark Hersam are showing how #materialsscience and #chemistry are critical to advancing quantum tech—from #computing to #sensing and #communications. Read more here: quantum.northwestern.edu/news-and-stori…

Congrats to #INQUIRE Executive Committee member Prem Kumar on being named @ISTCoalition 2025 Researchers to Know! He recently demonstrated #quantum #teleportation over a live fiberoptic internet cable—a big step toward scalable, real-world quantum #tech. istcoalition.org/researchers-to…

New paper on from faculty member Michael Wasielewski! #qubits #spincontrol #quantum @nuINQUIRE | @CMQTnu

Very excited to share this work just published in @J_A_C_S! We demonstrate the rational design of an improved organic optical-spin interface that allows for the coherent microwave manipulation of electron spins in a nuclear-spin-rich solvent environment at temperatures that were previously difficult to access with molecular color centers; an important step towards using these systems as quantum sensors! @NUChemistry @nuINQUIRE @CMQTnu pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ja…

Congrats to @JamesDGaynor5 on this incredible achievement!
