Nebraska's Emergent Quantum Materials and Technologies (EQUATE) collaboration, funded by the U.S. National Science Foundation Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (NSF EPSCoR), has announced a wave of graduate student research opportunities led by EQUATE faculty.
Quantum materials science research opportunities are available for graduate students at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Creighton University. Related fields of study include quantum mechanics, nanoscience, chemistry, materials engineering, and physics.
EQUATE is a multi-university collaboration including more than 20 scientists and engineers as faculty that train rising Nebraska researchers in the second quantum revolution. The project is comprised of three Focused Research Groups (FRGs) which work on theory and experimentation to guide discoveries and expedite findings of new emergent quantum materials and phenomena.
EQUATE's intellectual merit and broader impacts focus on research and workforce development to advance knowledge on topics related to quantum materials, technologies, and computation. The project aims to revolutionize fields such as information technology, medicine, meteorology, and cryptography, with an impact on security areas such as defense and banking.
