Nucleate a hub of excellence in quantum information science & engineering (QISE) at UF
- Bridge engineering + physics, chemistry, CISE -> integrate UF’s talents, strengths -> multidisciplinary teams
- Transformative, fundamental science -> technology, with engineering-led thrusts, deliverables
Catalyze & incubate innovative research in new directions of quantum science and engineering
- Outside existing paradigms of today’s quantum technologies (ultralow-T, vacuo, extra-bulky)
- Focus on toward-room-temperature, solid-state, secure integrated quantum chips & systems
- If successful, clearly disruptive, transcending and shifting paradigms
