In honor of World Quantum Day, The Columbus Dispatch recently highlighted the groundbreaking work being done at Ohio State's Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering (CQISE). 

The feature interview with Dr. Ezekiel Johnston-Halperin, professor of physics and co-leader of CQISE, explores how the university is spearheading a "second quantum revolution." From developing ultra-secure communication networks between Columbus and Dayton to launching one of the nation's first stand-alone graduate programs in quantum information, Ohio State is cementing central Ohio's status as a global hub for next-generation technology.

"What the field is discovering is that there’s a second quantum revolution about how quantum mechanics can fundamentally affect those areas of information technology," says Johnston-Halperin.

The full article explores the real-world applications of this research in cybersecurity, healthcare, and the Ohio tech economy.
