Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation (RQS)
Register for the 2025 Institute Workshop at Duke University (June 4-5)Learn More
With the support of the National Science Foundation, the NSF Quantum Leap Challenge Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation uses quantum simulation to gain insight into and take advantage of the rich behavior of complex quantum systems. Work at the Institute is organized into three major research challenges.

I’m fascinated by entropy because it’s this abstract concept, quantified with a funny-looking function, but it has such important real-life implications.
