In the first five years of the Quantum Systems Accelerator we not only build quantum computing prototypes, but also used them to start exploring interesting materials physics problems. We’re charting a path to scientific discovery with quantum tech. quantumsystemsaccelerator.org/2025/02/26/q...

I’ve worked with some talented high school students, undergrad and grad students , and postdocs. They are making a mark on the scientific community.
Happy International Day of Women and Girls in Science! the @uchichemistry.bsky.social organic chem undergrads celebrated in class today by learning about @carolynbertozzi.bskyverified.social's Nobel prize winning work! Also gave us a chance to review aromaticity, reaction rates, and ring strain!
