The Quantum Quest
Quantum science is having a moment. Stories about the potential of quantum seem to be everywhere these days, from network news to technical journals. But the history of quantum science actually dates back more than a century, when a small number of theoretical physicists identified strange phenomena at microscopic levels. Many brilliant scientists later, quantum is poised to transform technologies from computing to communications, bringing together physicists, engineers, computer scientists, chemists, and others.
Max Parsons — engineering quantum technology while making state-of-the-art hardware more accessible for research and education
UW ECE Research Assistant Professor Max Parsons says he is interested in big, tough-to-solve science and engineering problems, anything where there might be a significant question mark in people’s minds. Perhaps that interest drew him to focus on one of the most difficult and complex challenges of our time — making the promise of quantum computers and related technologies a practical reality.
