Penn Engineers Ensure Quantum Experiments Get Off to the Right Start
Lee Bassett, Assistant Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, led the Quantum Engineering Lab in devising a system to reset the starting conditions of the quantum states of electrons. The quantum mechanical properties of electrons are beginning to open the door to a new class of sensors or computers, but the uncertainty of quantum states’ starting conditions can make experimentation difficult or even impossible.

At a TED Institute Event, Marc Miskin Talks About “Tiny Robots with Giant Potential”
Mark Miskin, Assistant Professor in Electrical and Systems Engineering, presented his microscopic robots, which are small enough to pass through a hypodermic needle, at TED@NAS, a TED Institute organized in partnership with the National Academy of Sciences (NAS). Miskin shared the stage with Paul McEuen, the Cornell physicist with whom he worked as a post-doctoral researcher, and the pair described how the robots could one day be “piloted” to battle diseases or study individual neurons in the brain.
