The National Science Foundation-funded "Center for Quantum Information and Computation for Chemistry" will focus on the role of quantum information in chemical systems and on developing algorithms for chemical problems that can be solved efficiently using quantum computers.
Purdue University has been awarded $1.5 million to study quantum information science, a new field paving the way for quantum computing — a novel method to process information that is faster, more powerful and more efficient than classical computing.
Sabre Kais, the project's principal investigator, said quantum information science draws on physical science, mathematics, computer science, and engineering to understand how certain fundamental laws of physics can be harnessed to improve the acquisition, transmission and processing of information.
