I want to thank the University of Maryland for their support during my transition out of government. As Special Advisor to President Darryll Pines and Vice President for Research Gregory Ball, over the coming months I will help UMD further develop and execute its quantum strategy. I will also continue working with my research group as a Visiting Research Professor in the Physics department. This aligns really well with my desire to be a physicist and continue to build the quantum community in the DC region and nationally/internationally. It also lets me ensure the continued momentum of projects in the LPS Qubit Collaboratory (https://www.qubitcollaboratory.org/ (saved copy)) as I step down as director.
