If gamblers, investors and quantum experimentalists could bend the arrow of time, their advantage would be significantly higher, leading to significantly better outcomes. Working with collaborators at the University of Cambridge, Nicole Yunger Halpern(link is external), a Fellow in the Joint Center for Quantum Information and Computer Science (QuICS), has shown that by manipulating entanglement, researchers can simulate what could happen if one could travel backwards in time.

Maryland Department of Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) Professor Liangbing Hu joins a new research center aimed at developing sustainable chemical processes that will reduce industrial greenhouse emissions, a project led by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL). 

A joint team from the University of Maryland Extension (UME) and the College of Information Studies (INFO) is leading the way toward helping more Maryland residents be digitally connected. In 2022, $6 million was awarded to UME (with INFO as a collaborator) as part of the Office of Statewide Broadband’s $400 million Connect Maryland initiative. Of the monies given, $2 million is going toward helping people sign up for broadband access and acquire devices, while $4 million is earmarked for digital literacy training, competency, and education initiatives.
