QSE Journal Menubar

The QSE Roadmap and Journal is undergoing a major upgrade this week (Dec. 18-25) to a new graphical interface. Some of the Roadmap entries may be temporarily truncated: they will return after they have been converted. Happy Holidays to all!

To apply for the UW ME Department's tenure-track faculty position(s) in quantum system engineering, please see this advertisement.

The ME Department encourages any and all qualified applicants, from both theoretical and experimental backgrounds, who seek to create and teach new technologies that push against the bounds that quantum mechanics imposes on the speed, accuracy, sensitivity, size, and power consumption of modern mechatronic devices.

This position provides a wonderful opportunity to participate in creating and teaching the new, exciting, strategically important, and rapidly growing engineering discipline of quantum system engineering (QSE).

Epistle to Colleagues and Friends

This journal is dedicated first and foremost to Cpl. Jeremy Fountain, Cpl. Brian Johnston, Cpl. Brandon Love, Cpl. Donald Schmidt, Cpl. Alexander Sidles, LCpl. Patrick Black, LCpl. Anthony Gilliard, and LCpl. Benjamin Lunak.

It is dedicated equally, to all of their comrades-in-arms, and to all of their families, and to all of their commanding officers.

Semper Fidelis!

This journal is dedicated also to those who have cared for our soldiers, including especially Dr. Carlo Bellabarba, Dr. Howard Chansky, Dr. Mark Freeborn, Dr. Frederick A. Matsen III, Dr. Bruce Sangeorzan, Dr. Douglas Smith, and Col. Winston Warme, M.D.

It is said that “physicians are defined by the tools at their disposal”. To help physicians meet the great challenge of healing, the UW QSE Group is working to create new tools for biomedical research and regenerative clinical practice.

Because there are many dozens of colleagues and friends to thank, this epistle will be extended in coming weeks.
