Florida State University has secured 5 internationally renowned experts to speak at the Herron Symposium Lecture Series: Chiral Electronics and Semiconductors, set for October 17 – 18, 2025.
FSU Opens the IRCB, A New Space Equipped for Quantum Discovery
In 2023, FSU announced the dedication of $20 million to quantum science and engineering (QSE) within three years. The funds will enable additional expansion of QSE research, including hiring postdoctoral fellows and tenure-track faculty. Housing the world’s largest and highest-powered Magnet Lab, FSU is strategically positioned to be at the forefront of QSE research.
Faculty Highlight: Dr. Irinel Chiorescu
Professor
The spring semester of 2005 marked the beginning of my career as an FSU-Physics faculty affiliated with the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory (or MagLab). As a postdoc searching for a faculty position, I explored the existing research directions and experimental capabilities at FSU. It was exciting to see the expertise accumulated in nanoscience and the ongoing research projects of faculty located both in campus and at MagLab.
FSU Quantum initiative has been established to advance university’s research and education in the areas of modern quantum science and technologies.
Making Qubits from Magnetic Molecules
Read or listen to the recent Physics Today article by Prof. Stephen Hill, reflecting on a historical perspective of molecular magnetism, illustrating how interdisciplinary quantum science uncovers new quantum effects to enable storing both classical and quantum information at the scale of individual atoms and molecules.
