Rice University

Quantum materials and cavity electrodynamics, under the Smalley-Curl Institute.

Rice comes at quantum from materials. The Smalley-Curl Institute is the umbrella; the Rice Quantum Initiative, the Center for Quantum Materials and the Center for Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics sit beneath it.

Quantum devices are exotic materials held in extreme conditions, which puts Rice early in the supply chain, well before anyone assembles a computer.
