About IQIM

The Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (IQIM) at Caltech is a National Science Foundation Physics Frontiers Center (NSF Grant PHY-2317110). IQIM seeks to exploit and advance an emerging revolution in quantum science spurred by recent developments in quantum information, atomic-molecular optical physics, and condensed matter physics. Our research programs span Quantum information physics, Next-generation quantum metrology, and Building and driving quantum matter, with faculty drawn from Caltech’s departments of physics, applied physics, electrical engineering, computer science, and chemistry, and addresses a wide variety of experimental and theoretical research topics. IQIM also conducts outreach programs to introduce K – 12 students and the general public to the wonders of the quantum world.

For the current award beginning September 2023, please include a funding acknowledgement similar to “We acknowledge funding provided by the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, an NSF Physics Frontiers Center (NSF Grant PHY-2317110).”

Prior support of IQIM as an NSF Physics Frontiers Center was provided from 2018-2023 by NSF Grant PHY-1733907. From 2011 to 2017 on NSF Grant PHY-1125565 and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation (GBMF-2644).

Logos and Acknowledgements

In papers, please acknowledge IQIM using our full name: Institute for Quantum Information and Matter (NSF Grant PHY-2317110). The acknowledgement can vary based on whether IQIM offers full or partial support. An example acknowledgement is:

“We acknowledge funding provided by the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, an NSF Physics Frontiers Center (NSF Grant PHY-2317110).”

If you have additional funding from other sources, it is appropriate to list those along with IQIM. “We acknowledge funding provided by the Institute for Quantum Information and Matter, an NSF Physics Frontiers Center (NSF Grant PHY-2317110).
