In 2010, I was part of a Phase 1 @NSF Chemical Center for Innovation based out of @PurdueChemistry and led by Sabre Kais.
The team was Sabre, Daniel Lidar, Peter Love, and @A_Aspuru_Guzik .
It also included @JarrodMcclean @faherreraur @caoyudong @JDWhitfield11 and many more without Twitter accounts.
Today when I returned to Purdue seven years after the program ended, its impact was more clear. The students that it trained have gone into do amazing things in quantum computing and outside of it.
My PhD student Muyuan Like first joined me as an undergrad summer student funded by this project.
Lately, he has been exploring quantum error correction (e.g. see arXiv:1804.01127 ), writing an ion trap module for Google #cirq, and preparing for an internship at #IBMQ.
Our proposal for Phase 2 was rejected but the seeds were already planted, and the science continues to be harvested.
