The center, QUEST – QUantum Entanglement in Science and Technology, is being established in order to advance the application of quantum mechanics to both fundamental and applied science, and has amongst its founding members both theorists and experimentalists who are active in research related to quantum entanglement. Our hope is that the center will provide assistance and a friendly “home” to all scientists who want to participate in advancing the field of quantum entanglement in systems that include atomic, ionic, photonic, solid state and cryogenic media.
