Researchers from the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have examined how electrons trapped just above the surfaces of ultraclean quantum fluids and solids such as liquid helium and solid neon ...
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. Eugene DePrince
Professor
I received my undergraduate degree in chemistry from the University of Tennessee. In my sophomore year, I took a course in “chemical programming” that was my first introduction to programming in any kind of formal setting and kicked off my interest in the topic.
Fun fact: one of the only things I remember from this course is that, in the Perl programming language, the command print "\007" will make the computer beep.
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.
