Quantum Science & Technology

For decades, researchers at CU 麻豆官网 have been at the forefront of exploring the physics of the universe at its smallest scales鈥攆rom probing the behavior of the humble electron to chilling atoms down to a fraction of a degree above absolute zero to create new states of matter. Today, they're transforming these quantum insights into new technologies that will benefit the lives of people in Colorado and beyond.
