- This $133,485 Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) program (CFDA 47.070) is supporting the development of a quantum computing training curriculum for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as researchers, in materials science and chemistry. The curriculum covers quantum computing fundamentals, quantum simulations, and quantum machine learning, utilizing both IBM quantum hardware and NVIDIA CUDA quantum...
The National Science Foundation (NSF) awarded a $498,945 Project Grant under the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (CFDA 47.049) program to the University of Pittsburgh to develop research-based educational materials to prepare undergraduate students for the "Second Quantum Revolution". The materials will include Quantum Interactive Learning Tutorials (QUILTS) and peer-instruction tools focused on quantum information science and technology (QIST) concepts such as quantum measurement, entanglement, quantum computing, and cryptography. These educational resources aim to help retain traditionally underrepresented students in STEM fields and inspire them to pursue careers related to quantum technologies. The tools will be broadly disseminated, including implementation at minority-serving institutions. This grant reflects NSF's mission to strengthen the nation's scientific enterprise and enhance understanding of major problems.
