Quantum Science

Paving the way for a more secure, efficient future

The biggest scientific breakthroughs are happening at the smallest scales. At CU Boulder, research based on quantum science—the study of the universe at the most fundamental level—could revolutionize life as we know it. Our faculty and students have worked on technologies to improve everything from timekeeping and medical imaging to space travel and data encryption. And we’ve barely scratched the surface.
