This lab is equipped with a Quantum Network Interface Console, an 8-channel Superconducting Nanowire Single-Photon Detector (SNSPD), 3 quantum entanglement sources (two at 1570 nm, one at 810 nm), and optical hardware for quantum optics experiments both at 810 nm and 1570 nm. The initiative has strong ties to Departments and Programs in STEM (e.g., Mathematics, Physics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering) and non-STEM (e.g., Communications, Sociology, Economics, Entrepreneurship), and it will advance collaborations with partners in the Chattanooga ecosystem, in academia, industry, and national labs such as the nearby Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). The Quantum Initiative invites applications for two faculty appointments at the Assistant or Associate Professor level in QISE available to experts in Quantum Networking, Computing or Sensing. Successful applicants will be expected to engage in collaborations that advance Quantum Technology use cases in key areas such as Smart Cities or Advanced Energy Systems.
