Title of Talk: NIST QUANTUM EFFORTS AT UMD COLLEGE PARK
ABSTRACT:
This short talk provides a snapshot of opportunities in quantum science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (qSTEM) at the University of Maryland College Park (UMD). The UMD quantum ecosystem consists of seven quantum institutes (two of them NIST-managed), five quantum-adjacent institutes, and approximately 100 faculty, split 55/45 between theory and experiment. I organize the ecosystem into subfields: each subfield is briefly described, and its corresponding faculty is listed.
Keywords: quantum science
