Florida State University will lead four major projects as part of the U.S. Department of Energy’s highly coveted Genesis Mission, showcasing the university’s strengths in advanced technological innovation.
FSU Quantum Research Teams Land Two Genesis Mission Grants from the Department of Energy
The U.S. Department of Energy has awarded Florida State University faculty prestigious Genesis Mission grants to research four major projects. Two of these awards will support research led by FSU Quantum faculty members: Prof. Nicholas Bonesteel will head a project focused on teaching AI to fix quantum errors, while the team led by Prof. Alexander Volya will apply AI and quantum computing to problems in nuclear science.
Faculty Highlight: Bayaner Arigong
Dr. Bayaner Arigong joined the Department of Electrical & Computer Engineering in the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering in 2020. He works on building microelectronic platforms that emulate quantum systems, with the goal to make quantum computing affordable and energy-efficient enough for everyday use. His research ideas have been recognized with a $5 million award from the National Science Foundation to build quantum chip research and education facilities at FSU.
FSU Quantum initiative has been established to advance university’s research and education in the areas of modern quantum science and technologies.
