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).
