Roy T. Eddleman
The Eddleman Quantum Institute was initiated by a gift from Roy T. Eddleman, who is dedicated to advancing science and technology through quantum science.
Quantum Topics
EQI Graduate Council
Along with the cohort of interdisciplinary faculty, graduate students in the EQI groups have formed a Graduate Council to promote interaction at the graduate student level.
Rare-Earth Metals
The Eddleman Quantum Institute at UCI has a concentrated effort on the rare-earth metals, due to the special properties of these elements. The special properties of the rare-earth metals also make them valuable in exploring the frontiers of quantum science. UCI has a focus of effort on these extraordinary metals with seven research groups working with these elements.
Theory
The Eddleman Quantum Institute at UCI has a concentrated effort on theoretical studies in the area of quantum simulations particularly with correlated systems and materials containing rare-earth metals.
Partnerships
The Eddleman Quantum Institute at UCI works in partnership with outreach efforts through the Southern California Section of the Cal-Bridge Program and the Bridge Program of the American Physical Society as well as UCI’s Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) and its Summer Undergraduate Research Fellowship (SURF) Program.
Undergraduate Research
Undergraduate students conduct research in quantum science at UCI in the laboratories of the EQI faculty as well as graduate students and postdocs.
International Conferences
The Eddleman Quantum Institute hosts international conferences in quantum science at locations such as Chateau Balleroy in Normandy, France
News
The Eddleman Quantum Institute (EQI) has selected 9 QUROP fellows for 2024.
The University of California Noyce Initiative has announced the award of three Quantum Information Science Awards for collaborations involving EQI faculty and other UC faculty.

EQI Distinguished Lecturer
Quantum Scientist Dr. Roberta Sessoli at UCI
EQI supported a seminar at UCI by the world famous quantum scientist, Dr. Roberta Sessoli, of the University of Florence, who discovered the first
molecular single-molecule magnet as a graduate student.
The Eddleman Quantum Institute (EQI) has awarded 6 graduate research fellowships (GRF) for 2022-2023
These fellowships exist thanks to the generous support from philanthropist Roy Eddleman. The EQI stimulates the discovery of new quantum science phenomena through interdisciplinary collaborations in a broad range of scientific endeavors and motivates future generations to study quantum science through education and outreach activities.
