URI Physics graduate student hopes to contribute to fight against cancer
Ndassi will take another step toward her goal as she crosses the stage during the University of Rhode Island’s College of Arts and Sciences commencement ceremony on May 16, earning her master’s degree in medical physics. This fall, she will begin her next journey at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore, where she will pursue her […]
URI to celebrate quantum at World Quantum Day centennial on April 11
This year is the International Year of Quantum, as declared by the United Nations, celebrating the centennial of quantum mechanics. In 1925, the first theories indicated that quantum was practical and could solve problems that classical mechanics could not. As we enter the “second revolution” of quantum, scientists use it for much more than material […]

Theoretical research establishes unified way to quantify vital quantum properties
In recent theoretical research, Ge and collaborators Jiru Liu and M. Suhail Zubairy, members of the Institute for Quantum Science and Engineering at Texas A&M University, explored the relationship between the two fundamental resources to quantum physics. They established a single way to quantify the two properties, defining a mathematical description of each. Their paper, […]
