JILA Associate Fellow Shuo Sun.
JILA Fellow Shuo Sun has been awarded an NSF Quantum Interconnect Challenges for Transformational Advances in Quantum Systems (QuIC-TAQS) grant. The grant's purpose is to support interdisciplinary teams exploring innovative and unique ideas for applying and developing quantum engineering, computing, and science in the specific area of quantum interconnection. Quantum interconnection is a part of quantum communications. This grant is part of a larger program by the NSF called the "Quantum Leap." The "Quantum Leap" began in December of 2018 with the National Quantum Initiative Act, which helped to fund research and development of quantum technology around the country.
Sun's laboratory focuses on the interactions between light and matter for quantum information applications, including quantum computing and quantum networking.
