Good quantum computing schools
Good quantum computing schools
Does anyone know any grad schools with a good quantum computing or related research group? I've tried searching on the internet and keep getting unwanted results. It doesn't have to be limited just to the U.S.
The university of Colorado at Boulder has a working relationship with NIST, national institute of Standards and Technology which has a really large and good quantum information/key exchange/computing group. In fact they have several groups of people working on the creation of quantum bits and quantum computers. Some names to look for Sae-Woo Nam, phase-encoded qubits using lasers, and Rich Simmonds who is using Josephson junctions to create qubits. Both of these people are well established/respected and both have viable schemes up and running, and therefore money. The thing about the field is that only a few approaches of the many initial propositions are getting anywhere. These include: entangled photons, josephson junctions, and potentially quantum dots. A lot of the research is done by the government. As for other universities I think that the best woudl be CU Boulder, Caltech/JPL and University of Maryland (I think. NIST Gaithersburg is in Maryland and so i'm sure whatever university is near it has a strong program.) Hope that helps.
