Ohio State faculty from Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE), Physics, and Chemistry were awarded a 2021 Catalyst Grant through the Ohio State President’s Research Excellence (PRE) program to develop novel quantum bits for QIST networks. The Catalyst Grant award is a university-wide program that supports cross- and interdisciplinary teams to pursue high-impact research and address challenges of societal importance. The interdisciplinary team includes:
Lead Principal Investigator
- Ronald M. Reano, Professor, Electrical and Computer Engineering
Co-investigators
- Daniel Gauthier, Professor, Department of Physics
- Ezekiel Johnston-Halperin, Professor, Department of Physics
- Roland Kawakami, Professor, Department of Physics
- Gregory Lafyatis, Professor, Department of Physics
- Alexander Sokolo, Assistant Professor, College of Arts and Sciences
The team will be investigating the creation of quantum bits from fundamental principles involving quantum theory, spectroscopy, and integrated waveguides.
