Advancing Quantum Computing
Multi-institutional Research in Developing Stable Quantum Computing Technology
In late 2019, the W.M. Keck Foundation awarded a grant in the amount of $1 million to fund a collaboration between researchers at the University of Denver's College of Natural Sciences and Mathematics and the Department of Physics at the Colorado School of Mines. This inter-university project focuses on the possibilities of using laser light technology to conduct quantum experimentation at room temperature, rather than at ultra-low temperatures.
About Our Research
We leverage cross-institutional collaboration to address some of today’s most pressing challenges, producing interdisciplinary solutions that influence policymakers to effectively serve the public good. From Stanford to UChicago to NYU, we’ve refined our collaborative process through years of mutually beneficial relationships with institutions nationwide to understand and address challenges like climate change, HIV and youth homelessness.
DU’s current research efforts have been featured in news outlets like The New York Times. They include…
- exploring the effects of felony disenfranchisement.
- employing lasers as the medium for quantum science.
- using theatre to heal and rehabilitate inmates.
