NSBE member Dante J. O’Hara, a first-year student in the University of California, Riverside’s materials science and engineering Ph.D. program, is an innovator in a field related to quantum computing. These futuristic technologies attempt to harness the nature and behavior of atoms and subatomic particles to create computers much faster and more powerful at problem-solving than the transistor-based computers of today.
