In the air people breathe, the water on the Earth, the stars in the sky and more, atoms are the building blocks that make up the universe. Understanding the structure of the atomic nucleus is crucial for research...
FSU-ORNL Workshop Unites Quantum Researchers Nationwide
The 2026 FSU-ORNL Workshop was a collaboration between the FSU Quantum Initiative and the Neutron Scattering Division of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory. The event, which was held on February 2-4, boasted dozens of experienced speakers and welcomed students and postdocs from a nation-wide pool of applicants.
Faculty Highlight: Kenneth Hanson
"While the foundation of what is now known as quantum science and engineering was laid decades ago, we still don’t have the insights or tools necessary to control and harness these phenomena on an atomic/molecular level. Likewise, while our understanding of quantum events continues to grow, the community will inevitably discover new processes, materials, and applications. The FSU Quantum initiative, combined with the research and tools already active at FSU, makes us uniquely positioned to contribute to this foundational understanding and open the door to harnessing quantum information in current and yet to be dreamed of applications."
FSU Quantum initiative has been established to advance university’s research and education in the areas of modern quantum science and technologies.
