Rahul Nandkishore, associate professor of physics at CU Boulder, is one of five theoretical physicists nationwide to win this honor. He plans to use his sabbatical year to make new breakthroughs in many-body quantum mechanics.
Using a new method called "quantum squeezing," researchers at JILA may have found a potential explanation for dark matter in the form of a new particle called an axion, which were likely created during the Big Bang in humungous numbers.
Writing for The Conversation, Benjamin Brubaker—a CU Boulder physics postdoc and a collaborator on HAYSTAC—describes how he and his colleagues used a bit of quantum trickery to double the rate at which their detector can search for dark matter.

As industries look to solve problems beyond the limits of classical computers, quantum has emerged as the next frontier in high-performance computing. The need for a future-ready workforce with a robust set of quantum computing skills is driving efforts to provide quantum education, programs, tools and curricula from early education through post graduate degrees. From early “coding camps” to undergraduate and graduate programs, we must find ways to reach a diverse student population to maintain and grow our nation’s leadership in innovation and technology.

YQIS provides a venue for young researchers (graduate students, post-doctoral researchers, etc) to share their research and strengthen ties to the quantum information community.
YQIS welcomes submissions from all areas of theoretical and experimental quantum information science, including: quantum algorithms, especially for simulating physics; quantum error correction and fault tolerance; near-term ("NISQ") algorithms and error mitigation; quantum Shannon theory; quantum computing technologies (superconducting qubits, photonics, etc); quantum resource theories; and quantum foundations.
