School of Engineering and Applied Sciences professor Evelyn L. Hu and Physics professor John M. Doyle moved for the establishment of a new graduate program in Quantum Science and Engineering during a meeting of the Faculty of Arts and Sciences Tuesday.
The program â which would bridge several existing departments and areas in FAS and SEAS, including Chemistry, Physics, and Computer Science â would train students in speaking âa common languageâ relevant to practical applications of the study of subatomic particle behavior, Doyle said in an interview.
Hu said in an interview that the emergence of a field in quantum science bears resemblance to the initial days of computer science, when âcomputer science slowly emerged from math.â
