Welcome to the Institute for Quantum Studies (IQS). The Institute aims to be a hub for research and public outreach in a variety of specialized areas of quantum mechanics, with particular emphasis on the foundations of quantum mechanics, and quantum information. IQS organizes a program of conferences, workshops, and public outreach events with the goal of advancing the progress and public awareness of frontier research in these areas.

- Andrew Jordan's work was featured in "A Quantum Leap in Power Generation" by Zeeya Merali by the John Templeton Foundation
- Congratulations to Dr. Andrew Jordan for receiving the Medal of Honor from the Frontiers of Quantum and Mesoscopic Themodynamics conference in Prague, Czech Republic 2024!
- Chapman University's Yakir Aharonov Elected as a Member of the Royal Society!
- Webinar series "Thinking Beyond" discusses the latest news on quantum measurement
- Please join us on Tuesday, February 27th @ 3:00pm at the Keck Center McCardle Collaboration Steps for Andrew N. Jordan and Irfan Siddiqi's book launch! Details are below:
- Time: Tuesday, February 27th
- 3:00-4:00pm Book Presentation, Keck Center 1st Floor
- 4:00-6:00pm Reception, Keck Center Faculty Lounge 330
- Title: Quantum Measurement, Theory and Practice
- Speakers: Andrew N. Jordan (Chapman University) and Irfan A. Siddiqi (UC Berkeley)
- Abstract: With an introduction from President Struppa, this public talk will launch our newly published book from Cambridge University Press. The topic of quantum measurement will be introduced at a general level, accessible to students, faculty, and members of the general public. We will discuss both the conceptual content of the book, how and why we wrote it, as well as some of the initial reactions from colleagues around the world. The book can be ordered in advance on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/dp/1009100068 . A reception with refreshments and book signing will follow in Keck 330.

The members of the Institute of Quantum Studies congratulate our Director, Yakir Aharonov, for winning the 2023 Pomeranchuk prize in physics, together with Arcady Tseytlin.The Pomeranchuk Prize is an international award for theoretical physics, awarded annually since 1998 by the Institute for Theoretical and Experimental Physics (ITEP) from Moscow. It is named after the Russian physicist Isaak Yakovlevich Pomeranchuk, who together with Landau established the Theoretical Physics department of the Institute.http://www.itep.ru
