IBM Quantum System One Debuts at Clinic, Joint Research on Horizon
Regional 鈥淔ounding Quantum Members鈥 including 香蕉福利直播 will undertake joint interdisciplinary research and education on campus and also with the Cleveland Clinic
Quantum Computing is at the top of buzzworthy phrases bandied about in technology circles. This rapidly emerging technology yokes the laws of quantum mechanics to solve problems deemed 鈥渢oo complex鈥 for traditional computers. Now we have one of these miraculous machines in our own backyard.
IBM deployed The IBM Quantum System One鈥斺攐n Monday, March 20 at the Cleveland Clinic. , with the goal of accelerating biomedical discoveries and research through 鈥渉igh-performance computing, artificial intelligence and quantum computing.鈥
Rest assured, 鈥攁ctively engaging, leveraging and steering research and education of this technology in our own backyard and building community partnerships around a future that鈥檚 here today.
香蕉福利直播 is one of three 鈥淔ounding Quantum Members鈥 in the region (joining Case Western Reserve University and Kent State University) participating in the joint research and education across disciplines on campus and also with the Clinic.
This represents both a watershed moment for the city, region and state and also an exciting time for 香蕉福利直播, which has been , creating greater collaboration with regional partners and forging interdisciplinary alliances at 香蕉福利直播 in the process:
- 香蕉福利直播 recently received two National Science Foundation (NSF) and one New America Public Interest Technology University Network (PIT-UN) grant on Quantum Computing. The Principal Investigators of the three grants are: Hiram Lopez (Math), Sathish Kumar (EECS) and Charles McElroy (Business). The PIT-UN grant is arranged through 香蕉福利直播 T.E.C.H. Hub (Shilpa Kedar);
- 香蕉福利直播 also offered a Quantum Summer Camp 鈥淨ubit by Qubit, CSforCLE鈥 for high school students during Summer 2022 (Chelsey Cook Kohn, Debbie Jackson) developing community partnerships to foster a diverse tech talent pipeline;
- And lastly, though certainly not least, 香蕉福利直播 is in the readying stages of rolling out a joint 香蕉福利直播-Cleveland Clinic Ph.D. program in Engineering with Applied Data Science specialization.
Needless to say, it鈥檚 an exciting time for everyone involved. The only thing that鈥檚 missing? You.
Quantum Computing Curriculum at 香蕉福利直播
With the support from the JobsOhio project (Joanne Belovich), 香蕉福利直播 began offering a Quantum Computing course for the first time during the Fall 2022 Semester. It was team-taught by 香蕉福利直播 faculty members鈥擧iram Lopez (Math), Janche Sang (EECS), and Mehdi Rahmati (EECS).
Next year, the University plans to offer Quantum Machine Learning, Quantum Computing for Life Science, and Quantum Information Science in addition to Quantum Computing course鈥攚ith a near-future plan to introduce a Quantum Certificate Program. Classes are scheduled on Fridays to welcome students across campus as well as a continuing education. See details .
Explore the Quantum World: Cleveland Educator Workshop
As if these successes with an eye on the future weren鈥檛 enough, 香蕉福利直播 is also offering a first-of-its-kind professional development workshop in partnership with the Cleveland Clinic. High school and undergraduate teachers and faculty will learn how to introduce their students to quantum computing.
During the pilot program鈥攆unded by the PIT-UN award under the 鈥淭he PIT Quantum Computing Training Pipeline鈥 project collaboration鈥攔egistrants will learn the basics of quantum computing, engage in hands-on activities, and develop lesson plans and activities they can use with their students.
They鈥檒l also join a cohort of fellow teachers excited to introduce emerging technologies and quantum computing to their students. The rolling application for this program has a priority deadline of May 1, 2023. Register now at the .
