Third Annual Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction Symposium
Through October 27, 2023 Northwestern University, Norris University Center, Guild Lounge
The mission of the Center for Molecular Quantum Transduction (CMQT) is to develop the fundamental scientific understanding needed to carry out quantum-to-quantum transduction through a bottom-up synthetic approach, which imparts atomistic precision to quantum systems.
This year, our principal investigators will meet on October 26 to discuss strategies for an upcoming renewal proposal followed by a late afternoon keynote address by David Awschalom (University of Chicago). On October 27, symposium speakers include Mark A. Eriksson (University of Wisconsin-Madison), Stephen Wilson (UC, Santa Barbara), Laura Gagliardi (University of Chicago), Jens Koch (Northwestern University), Paul S. Weiss (UCLA), and James Rondinelli (Northwestern University).
