I am looking forward to participating in the Traineeship because quantum information is a topic I’ve always wanted to be involved with. My collaborative project right now combines research at School of Mines and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory to investigate a novel room temperature electrically detected quantum system. I’m hoping this research will give me valuable hands-on experience building and testing new devices and theories needed for break-through quantum technologies. And I hope this experience proves valuable in a future career in quantum information or quantum computing.
