Johns Hopkins University physicist Natalia Drichko is part of a group that won a $450,000 grant from the National Science Foundation to organize and run a four year sequence of summer school meant to prepare graduate and post-doctoral students to work with a new generation of quantum technology.

The award to establish the Quantum Science Summer School is part of the first round of what the federal agency calls the Growing Convergent Research at NSF program. It's meant to encourage sustained collaborations among scientists from different disciplines "to address the most compelling scientific and societal challenges."
