Jason Petta Wins Presidential Early Career AwardJason Petta (IRGD) is among the 100 recipients of the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the highest honor bestowed by the federal government on young professionals in the early stages of their independent research careers.Petta was cited for conducting leading research, including investigations into isolating single quantum states in semiconductor compounds by making super-small devices using advanced nanofabrication techniques. He also is studying how to control single quantum states in order to create "quantum bits," the elementary building blocks of a future quantum computer. In addition, he is performing experiments that will improve the understanding of how the fragile quantum states are destroyed due to interactions with the environment.
