Modeling a nitrogen-vacancy center with NVIDIA CUDA-Q Dynamics: University of Washington Capstone Project
Defects in crystals are leading qubit candidates for quantum information networks. The ability to efficiently model defects, like nitrogen-vacancy (NV) centers, and their environment would deepen our understanding of these complex quantum systems and accelerate the use of these defects in scalable quantum networks. To study complex quantum systems like these and advance basic research […]
Sprinternships with Break Through Tech Chicago and the Amazon Braket quantum computing team
During May 2022, Amazon Web Services hosted its first cohort of students participating in Break Through Tech Chicago’s annual Sprinternship. This is a micro-internship program designed to transform the career trajectories of women (cisgender and transgender) and nonbinary individuals. The program offers these students foundational work experience that prepares them for the tech workforce. Break […]
