Trinity Communications Natalie Klco, assistant professor of Physics and a member of the Duke Quantum Center, has received the 2026 Kenneth G. Wilson Award “for her pioneering contributions to digital quantum simulations of lattice gauge theories.” Established with support from Physics Nobel Prize laureate Kenneth G. Wilson, whose computational approaches transformed theoretical physics, this inte…

How observed fabric of space-time emerges from fundamental quantum mechanics is one of the great mysteries of the field. A simplified model could emerge from fundamental quantum degrees of freedom through a technique co-developed by Crystal Noel.

Natalie Klco wins the 2026 Kenneth G. Wilson Award for Excellence in Lattice Field Theory The National Quantum Laboratory (QLab) is thrilled to congratulate Dr. Natalie Klco (Duke University) on receiving the prestigious 2026 Kenneth G. Wilson Award for Excellence in Lattice Field Theory. Sponsored by QLab, the award was announced during the 43rd International Symposium on Lattice Field Theory (L…

Assistant Professor of Physics and Duke Quantum Center member Marko Cetina has been awarded a prestigious National Science Foundation (NSF) CAREER Award totaling $406,456 for his project, CAREER: ColleqtIon: Collective Ion Optical Interconnects for Quantum Computing. The award will support resear

Trinity Communications As quantum computers grow larger and more powerful, one of the biggest challenges is understanding and choreographing the complex patterns of quantum entanglement that make these technologies possible.

Mary-Russell Roberson for Trinity Communications While physicists and engineers are working on building the computers of tomorrow — quantum computers, that is — Yu Tong is pushing the field forward from a different angle. As a mathematician and a theorist, he works not with subatomic particles and lasers, but with pencil and paper, designing algorithms for quantum computers. “You have to use your…

Mary-Russell Roberson for Trinity Communications Even those of us who aren’t physicists have an intuitive understanding of classical physics — we can predict what will happen when we throw a ball, use a salad spinner, or ease up on the gas pedal. But atomic and subatomic particles don’t follow these ordinary rules of reality. “It turns out that at really small scales there are a different set of …
