Dr. Xulong Tang, an associate professor in the Department of Computer Science, is participating in a five-year $5 million NSF ExpandQISE Track 2 Grant.
The project, titled “ExpandQISE: URI-PQI Collaboration - Application of Quantum Fundamentals to Advance Research and Workforce Development,” is led by the University of Rhode Island in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Quantum Institute, Carnegie Mellon University, and the University of Pittsburgh.
The project seeks to improve on the robustness of qubits, the basic unit of information in quantum computing, and address the need for a skilled quantum workforce that meets industry demand.
Please join us in congratulating Dr. Tang on his participation in the grant!
