Meet the Team

Quantum for All is an ecosystem of professionals from multiple areas including academia, research, businesses, and individuals. By working together we can be on the cutting edge of technology, education best practice, and research. Below are some of the visionaries for this project and we look forward to adding more as we continue this journey into Quantum Information Science and STEM.

The Principal Investigators for the Project are Dr. Karen Jo Matsler and Dr. Ramon Lopez.  Both work at the University of Texas Arlington.
