Reading time: about 4 minutesNobel Laureate in Physics John Martinis will present his quantum mechanics research on campus as a part of the Cornell Undergraduate Research Board’s new lecture series in Klarman Hall on Wednesday. Two other physicists share the Nobel Prize with Martinis, who is a professor emeritus of physics at the University of California, Santa Barbara. As co-founder and chief technology officer of Qolab, a quantum hardware company, Martinis currently works in quantum computing. CURB, in its mission to promote and enrich the Cornell undergraduate research experience, connects students with professors and other students at the University through CURB Connect and the Peer Mentorship Program, respectively. “One of the Cornell students in the audience might be standing in Professor Martini’s shoes a few years down the line, hopefully,” Prabhu said.
