11/14/2025 Dr. Sanjay Raman – UMass Amherst
An overview of quantum information systems research at UMass Amherst
Friday, November 14, 2025 11:15am, ITE 336
Abstract: This talk will provide an overview of ongoing quantum information systems – broadly defined to include computing, networking and sensing systems – research at UMass Amherst, including efforts under the NSF Center for Quantum Networks. Integrated photonic and trapped-ion approaches will be highlighted. We will also discuss some recent state-of-the-art cryogenic low-noise circuit results in silicon technologies that are applicable to superconducting qubit systems.
Bio-sketch: Dean Raman joined UMass from Virginia Tech (VT) where he was associate vice president for the VT National Capital Region, president and CEO of the Virginia Tech Applied Research Corporation, and a tenured full professor in their Bradley Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE). From 2007-13, Raman was a program manager in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Microsystems Technology Office. Raman earned his doctorate in electrical engineering from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, in 1998 and joined the ECE faculty at VT. Prior to his doctoral studies at the University of Michigan, Raman served as a nuclear-trained submarine officer in the U.S. Navy from 1987-92. He is an elected fellow of the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) for leadership in adaptive microwave and millimeter-wave integrated circuits. In recent years he has served as a member of the Defense Science Board, an elected member of the IEEE Microwave Theory and Technology Society Administrative Committee, and as co-General Chair of the 2024 IEEE International Microwave Symposium (IMS2024). He currently serves on the steering committee of the DARPA Microsystems Exploratory Council.
