It will support our current projects while attracting top talent to the University, enhancing our collaborations with industry, and contributing to the region\u2019s economic growth.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>The region\u2019s cutting-edge transmission electron microscope facility<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The new transmission electron microscope will be housed at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/urnano\/index.html\">URnano, the University\u2019s Integrated Nanosystems Center<\/a>, which serves as a user facility for the University community, industry, corporations, faculty, and students at other institutions. The location ensures that the equipment will be a key regional asset for advanced research and development, supporting the growth of the QIS and optics, photonics, and lasers sectors in the greater Rochester and Finger Lakes regions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe opportunity to bring a state-of-the-art electron microscope to URnano, to the University of Rochester, and to the Rochester area will accelerate our work on quantum and nanotechnologies, as well as our training of the next-generation workforce,\u201d says URnano director and physics professor <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sas.rochester.edu\/pas\/people\/faculty\/bigelow_nicholas\/index.html\">Nicholas Bigelow<\/a>. \u201cURnano\u2019s users are students and faculty of the University, as well as neighboring universities and colleges, and our industrial partners. The new microscope will be used by these scientists not only to develop quantum devices and semiconductor electronic devices, but also in work on optics, biomedicine, geology, chemistry, semiconductors, and more. Many of our research programs will be effectively \u2018turbo-charged\u2019 by this new capability.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The acquisition of the new equipment will position URnano as a cutting-edge electron microscope facility, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/college\/deans\/john-tarduno.html\">John Tarduno<\/a>, the dean for research for the University\u2019s School of Arts &amp; Sciences and Hajim School of Engineering &amp; Applied Sciences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m thrilled by the Congressional support,\u201d Tarduno says. \u201cThis instrumentation is especially timely because it will afford faculty and students the ability to further explore\u2014on an atomic scale\u2014the behavior of materials key for quantum technologies, a critical research area today and one in which University faculty have been pioneers.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Rochester\u2019s fundamental contributions to quantum information science<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>As the birthplace of quantum optics and key elements of quantum coherence, the University of Rochester has a long and distinguished history of fundamental contributions to quantum information science and engineering.<\/p>\n<p>Pioneers and luminaries with Rochester connections span the decades. Physics professor <a href=\"http:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/news\/printable.php?id=778\">Leonard Mandel<\/a> founded the branch of physics known as quantum optics and was the first to demonstrate photon self-interference. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/emil-wolf-pioneer-optical-physics-dies-323082\/\">Emil Wolf<\/a>, a longtime Rochester professor and a pioneer in optical physics, built the foundations of coherence theory; with physicist and alumnus Girish Agarwal \u201969 (PhD), Wolf connected those foundations to quantum optics. Alumnus George Sudarshan \u201958 (PhD) invented quantum descriptions of light, while <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/joseph-eberly-2021-honorary-member-of-optica-503732\/\">Joseph Eberly<\/a>, a professor of physics and of optics, achieved deep insights in atom-photon interaction. At Rochester\u2019s Laboratory for Laser Energetics, G\u00e9rard Mourou and Donna Strickland \u201989 (PhD) made revolutionary advances in laser science that would <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rochester.edu\/newscenter\/rochesters-breakthrough-in-laser-science-earns-nobel-prize-340302\/\">earn them the Nobel Prize in Physics in 2018<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Today, there are more than a dozen different research groups at the University involved in some aspect of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hajim.rochester.edu\/optics\/research\/quantum_optics.html\">quantum optics<\/a>. Rochester continues to expand its leadership in quantum science and technology, educating tomorrow\u2019s quantum leaders, as well as making strategic partnerships with industry to rapidly grow quantum technologies.
