Indara Suarez receives inaugural CAS I.D.E.A.L. award
We are so proud of our very own Indara Suarez for the exceptional work she has done to earn one of three inaugural I.D.E.A.L. (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, Access, Leadership) awards. These awards celebrate the impactful efforts of individuals and groups whose contributions exemplify recognizing and responding to inequity, exclusion, and marginalization through thoughtful and innovative […]
Anders Sandvik and researchers from D-Wave publish Nature paper on quantum annealing
Anders Sandvik and researchers at D-Wave Quantum Inc have published groundbreaking results showing that quantum-criticality in systems with complex ground states can be observed in a programmable device at unprecedented scale – with more than 5000 qubits realizing a quantum spin-glass model. The paper, published in Nature, is available here. A press release from D-wave, […]

Professors Roberts, Miller and Carey’s work on recent g-2 experiment featured in BU Research.
Professors Lee Roberts, Rob Carey and Jim Miller’s work on the Fermilab experiment has recently announced new results. The Fermilab experiment, called Muon g-2, detected particles called muons behaving slightly differently than currently accepted physics theories would predict. The results, announced earlier this month, confirm similar findings from a 2001 Brookhaven National Lab experiment. To […]
Pankaj Mehta promoted to Full Professor
Congratulations to Pankaj Mehta, who has been promoted to the rank of Full Professor. Mehta’s research explores theoretical problems at the interface of physics and biology; large-scale, collective behaviors observed in biological systems emerge from the interaction of many individual components. Congratulations Pankaj
