Professor Yannick Meurice has been granted a new award from the U.S. Department of Energy entitled "Quantum Computing in Lattice Field Theory for High Energy Physics" for $659,000. It is one of the eight recent awards for the Department of Energy "Quantum Technology Outposts in Fundamental Physics" program. This project seeks to develop innovative quantum computing methods to study fundamental problems in in high energy physics that are beyond the reach of classical computers, including the simulation of strongly interacting particles and real-time particle collisions. By advancing both our understanding of fundamental interactions and the development of next-generation quantum technologies, the project will contribute to ongoing efforts to harness quantum computing for scientific discovery. In the past six years, the research group has received over five million dollars of funding for related projects which supported ten physics PhD students.
