QuICS

The August cover of @NaturePhysics features work by researchers affiliated @JointQuICS. The paper—coauthored by @QiZhao_Quantum and @andrewmchilds—shows that quantum simulation algorithms can be faster in the presence of entanglement.

Congrats to @NIST & @UofMaryland physicist Michael Gullans on winning the Arthur S. Flemming Award! The prestigious honor recognizes his breakthrough work in taming noisy qubits to make practical quantum computers a reality. Learn more: go.umd.edu/2frg

More than $5 million in new funding from several private companies—including @Fidelity and @NormalComputing—will expand Maryland’s Quantum-Thermodynamics Hub, co-led by Nicole Yunger Halpern (@nicoleyh11), and support it for three more years. Read more: go.umd.edu/227t

Jacob Taylor joined Daniel Carney (@four_form) & Manthos Karydas of @BerkeleyLab to rethink gravity. In a paper published in @PhysRevX, they propose new “toy models” where gravity emerges from quantum particles—no gravitons needed. Learn more: go.umd.edu/21qb

According to a new @nberpubs study, the @UofMaryland is one of the top five American producers of doctorates in technology—including quantum science. The study named @JointQuICS as a longtime partnership between UMD and @NIST.
