SUMMARY:What’s Next in Quantum: Carolina Research at the Edge of Computin
 g
DESCRIPTION:Quantum technologies promise to reshape computing\, communicati
 on\, scientific discovery\, and economic development\, but significant sci
 entific and technical challenges remain before that potential can be fully
  realized.\n\nWhat’s Next in Quantum: Carolina Research at the Edge of C
 omputing will bring together researchers and infrastructure leaders from U
 NC-Chapel Hill\, Renaissance Computing Institute (RENCI)\, and Microelectr
 onics Center of North Carolina (MCNC) for an accessible\, cross-disciplina
 ry conversation about the current state and future of quantum research. Pa
 nelists will explore advances in quantum computing and communication\, the
  materials and systems that make those advances possible\, and the shared 
 infrastructure and statewide investments needed to advance fundamental qua
 ntum technologies and move them from laboratory research toward practical 
 use.\n\nThe event will also feature a soft launch of UNC’s new quantum w
 ebsite\, offering the Carolina community a central resource for discoverin
 g quantum research\, expertise\, and opportunities across campus. Attendee
 s will leave with a clearer understanding of what quantum technology could
  make possible\, the challenges researchers are working to overcome\, and 
 how UNC and its partners are helping shape what comes next.\n\n\nPanelists
  include:\n	Jim Cahoon (Department of Chemistry)\n\n	Jacob Rudd (MCNC)\n\n
 	Yufeng Xin (RENCI)\n\n	Wei Zhang (Department of Physics and Astronomy)\n\
 n\nNate Warren from the Office of Research Development will present a soft
  launch of UNC’s new quantum website. The panel will be moderated by Bec
 ky Boyles\, RENCI Interim Director.\n\nThis is a virtual event.
