Study In US: Yale-led Project On Quantum Technology Gets National Science Foundation Grant
Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage (ERASE) project is led by Yale University. It is one of the six projects which recently received awards from the NSF.
A quantum technology-based project which is led by Yale University has received a prestigious grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF).
Erasure Qubits and Dynamic Circuits for Quantum Advantage (ERASE) project is being completed with a collaboration between industrial hardware partner, Quantum Circuits, Inc. and academia. It is led by Yale physicist Steven Girvin.
“Quantum errors occur much too frequently in most hardware, and we need to find a way to correct them. It’s very subtle because when you measure the quantum state of a system to see if it has an error, you change that state,” says Girvin.
ERASE project is working to resolve this issue. The project features specially designed qubits.
“Erasure qubits are special qubits that put up a flag that tells you ‘The error happened at this particular spot at this particular time,’” said Girvin.
State officials and Yale noted that ERASE helps to advance the goals of QuantumCT which is a unique partnership led by the University of Connecticut and Yale. It is to accelerate quantum research.
Governor Ned Lamont said, “Through initiatives like QuantumCT, Connecticut is actively preparing for the economy of the future, one that will be significantly influenced by transformative technologies such as quantum computing and artificial intelligence. This NSF grant highlights our state’s leadership in innovation and the advancement of new technologies. I take great pride in the fact that this partnership between Yale University and QCI is helping to shape our nation’s quantum computing capacities.”
Paranoia, In part, A Visual Problem: Yale Study
According to a new Yale Study, in the future testing for mental illnesses like schizophrenia can be done by a simple eye test.
Senior author Philip Corlett, an associate professor of psychiatry at Yale School of Medicine and member of the Wu Tsai Institute said, “We’re really interested in how the mind is organized. Chasing or other intentional behaviours are what you might think of as experiences perceived at a very high level in the brain, that someone might have to reason through and deliberate. In this study, we can see them low down in the brain, in vision, which we think is exciting and interesting — and has implications for how those mechanisms might be relevant for schizophrenia.”
