Mapping the Quantum Frontier
From the Nominator
EnTERPrise Magazine - Quantum Chip & Computing. These images feature quantum chips and spotlight the UMD quantum researchers who are at the forefront in this groundbreaking field. UMD launched a lab and institute to advance mind-bending computing from different angles. UMD expands its footprint as the “Capital of Quantum” with the latest lab and institute to advance quantum computing. For the feature opening image, I focused on the center of a printed copper circuit board, a superconducting quantum device less than a centimeter across allows UMD physicists to explore new methods to control “quibits”—the basic unit of quantum information.
From the Judges
The use of color and lighting is particularly noteworthy, and the photographer has done an excellent job of using these elements to create a mood and atmosphere that is both striking and evocative. Well done in lighting a tough subject, which is no easy feat. Overall, it was a great and remarkable nomination.
