Research / Research AreasQuantum Science and Engineering
Quantum Science and Engineering is the study and application of the principles of quantum mechanics (such as superposition and entanglement) to develop new technologies that surpass the limits of classical systems. It is a heavily interdisciplinary research endeavor that brings together computer science, physics, chemistry, materials science, and engineering — leading to a broad and diverse set of research areas that span quantum systems and architecture, quantum information science, quantum computing, quantum communications and networking, quantum sensing, quantum algorithms and complexity, quantum software systems, quantum simulation, quantum programming languages, quantum machine learning and optimization, security of quantum systems, and cryptography.
