Pioneering the Quantum Frontier
Quantum Science and Technology
From the fundamental laws of physics to the complexities of biomolecular chemistry the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science is the multidisciplinary engine driving ³Ô¹ÏÍø’s quantum future.
The Charles E. Schmidt College of Science at ³Ô¹ÏÍø is rapidly emerging as a multidisciplinary hub for quantum computing research, application development, and workforce preparation. Driven by a cross-departmental commitment spanning Biological Sciences, Chemistry and Biochemistry, Geosciences, Mathematics and Statistics, Physics, Psychology, and Urban and Regional Planning, the college is building a distinctive quantum portfolio centered on near-term quantum advantage.
A defining strategic asset is the college's active partnership with D-Wave Systems and the forthcoming on-campus installation of a D-Wave Advantage2 quantum computer — making FAU the first university in ³Ô¹ÏÍø to publicly host a large-scale quantum computing system on site.
Scientific Advantage
Beyond the Hardware: Why the Sciences Matter
Quantum technology is more than just a computer—it is a transformation of the natural and mathematical sciences. In the Schmidt College of Science, our scientists don’t just use quantum tools; they define the quantum topologies of biological networks, the chemistry of molecular folding, and the mathematical proofs of post-quantum security.
