Quantum Computing: $1.184 million awarded through the FY2025 Commerce, Justice, and Science Appropriations Act.
Quantum devices and computing initiative at Oregon Institute of Technology. July 9, 2024
The proposed project is interdisciplinary, combining electrical engineering, physics, and computer science, impacting about 200 undergraduate and graduate students annually at OT and elsewhere through associated curriculum, hands-on experiences, and certificate programs with online options. A broader impact will be from addressing the unmet workforce needs of the quantum technology industry in the Portland area and elsewhere in Oregon. This interdisciplinary approach, combining physics, engineering, and computer science, will enable students to engage in research and apply their knowledge in real-world quantum technology scenarios. By fostering a workforce well-versed in the theoretical and practical aspects of quantum
