Description
This program supports early career researchers working at the intersection of quantum science—including quantum materials, measurement, sensing, and information—by fostering interdisciplinary collaboration. The initiative brings together theorists and experimentalists from diverse fields such as physics, chemistry, materials science, applied mathematics, computer science, and engineering. The goal is to catalyze new methodologies and deepen understanding of quantum behaviors, with an emphasis on high-risk, high-reward projects that emerge from intensive, team-based dialogue at annual Scialog conferences. Teams formed during the meeting can submit proposals for one-year seed grants to launch innovative collaborative projects.
