Accelerating Quantum Computing Research

Quantum computing is rapidly advancing as a powerful tool for high-performance digital computing applications. Rensselaer is poised to lead in this field, leveraging its partnership with IBM to enhance faculty, graduate programs, and research initiatives. The focus will be on accelerating knowledge transfer between IBM and Rensselaer, advancing quantum computing as a research tool, and supporting workforce development and education. IBM will provide guidance on the latest quantum information science (QIS) advancements, helping to shape research methodologies and best practices for using IBM’s quantum hardware and software. This collaboration will empower faculty and students to drive forward quantum computational science.
