The inaugural cohort of Princeton’s quantum science and engineering graduate program — one of only a few of its kind in the United States — is helping pioneer a field that promises to define the next era of discovery and innovation: https://t.co/P3DbldFHDG
The vision for the program is to give students rigorous graduate-level training in elements of quantum physics and information theory and glue that curriculum together with courses on advanced quantum information technologies.

On #WorldQuantumDay, Princeton is announcing a major gift that will support the Princeton Quantum Initiative and accelerate the next generation of quantum science research and discovery: https://t.co/Nh0xJzb7N7
The Princeton Quantum Initiative was launched in 2019 and is an interdisciplinary enterprise involving faculty, graduate students and postdoctoral researchers from the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the Department of Chemistry and the Department of Physics. Research teams’ work ranges from laboratory experiments with materials and devices to mathematical and computational studies that provide a foundational understanding of how quantum systems work.
Princeton’s strategic commitment to quantum science extends across teaching, learning and research; a quantum science and engineering Ph.D. program was launched in 2024, and the program’s first two cohorts of graduate students are fully engaged in the University’s interdisciplinary quantum research community.
This free webinar is for undergraduates everywhere who want to explore summer research opportunities beyond their home institution. The webinar is Thursday at 4 p.m.
Princeton researchers have cleared a major hurdle toward the advent of practical quantum computing by developing a new kind of superconducting qubit that improves quantum coherence time by 15 times that of industry standards: https://t.co/B9meBhGDBL

A team of scientists from Princeton has measured the energies of electrons in a new class of quantum materials and has found them to follow a fractal pattern.
Fractals are self-repeating patterns that occur on different length scales and can be seen in nature in a variety of settings, including snowflakes, ferns, and coastlines.
A quantum version of a fractal pattern, known as “Hofstadter’s butterfly,” has long been predicted, but the new study marks the first time it has been directly observed experimentally in a real material.
This research paves the way toward understanding how interactions among electrons, which were left out of the theory originally proposed in 1976, give rise to new features in these quantum fractals.
