In the latest episode of the "Humans of JILA" podcast, we take an in-depth look at the CUbit Quantum Initiative, an organization at the University of Colorado Boulder. CUbit is at the forefront of quantum research, education, and workforce development, serving as a vital bridge between academia, industry, and government.
Founded through a collaboration between CU Boulder, the NIST Quantum Physics Division (a core component of JILA), and leading Front Range quantum technology companies, CUbit is dedicated to tackling the most significant quantum engineering challenges of our time.
This episode features conversations with some of CUbit's most influential leaders and partners. You'll hear from CU Boulder Chancellor Justin Schwartz and Vice Chancellor for Research and Innovation Massimo Ruzzene, who share their vision for CUbit positioning Colorado as a national and international quantum science and technology hub. CUbit Executive Director Scott Sternberg offers insights into the initiative’s strategic direction. At the same time, JILA Fellow and CUbit Faculty Director for Education and Workforce Development Heather Lewandowski discusses the critical role of education in preparing the next generation of quantum scientists and engineers. Additionally, Professor Scott Diddams, a key figure in both physics and electrical engineering, explores the intersection of research and innovation within CUbit’s framework.
CUbit represents more than just a scientific endeavor; it embodies a modern vision of collaboration, where the convergence of diverse expertise drives the field of quantum technologies forward. In this episode, we explore how CUbit's initiatives are advancing the frontiers of quantum research and setting the stage for Colorado to become a leader in the global quantum landscape. Tune in to discover how CUbit is shaping the future of this transformative field.
