The Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering (IQSE) is a new Harvard Science and Technology Initiative, established in 2006, supported by the Provost's Office and the Faculty of Arts and Sciences.
The Mission of the IQSE is to foster cross-disciplinary research and education in new areas at the intersection of nanoscience, atomic physics, device engineering and computer science, that in various ways seeks to apply principles of quantum mechanics to advanced technologies.
The Institute is currently virtual, though plans for a home for the IQSE in the Pierce-Lyman-Cruft-LISE complex are being developed.
IQSE programs include seed support for new research initiatives, a fellowship program, support for long and short term visitors, and support for conferences on related topics at Harvard. |
Research areas connected by a common interest in applying new ideas in quantum mechanics to devices and technologies. |
