The Department of Electrical Engineering

Prof. Shayegan and Dr. Loren Pfieffer from the Electrical Engineering Department, along with Professors Duncan Haldane and Andrei Bernevig from the Princeton University Physics Department have been awarded Keck Foundation funding for "Wavefunction Engineering for a Topological Quantum Computer". Their research is a multidisciplinary effort to obtain the best platform for topological quantum computing. A quantum computer would be millions of times more powerful than the best supercomputer cur
