Solving Electrical Engineering Problems At A Quantum Level

Today we sit down with Paul Douglas (“Doug”) Tougaw, a full professor and chair of the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Valparaiso University. Doug has an extensive background in both electrical engineering and applied physics. With this multifaceted knowledge, Doug focuses on applying physics (primarily quantum physics) to solve problems that are relevant to electrical engineering – also known as Quantum-dot Cellular Automata (QCA).

Join us as Doug discusses topics such as:

• How quantum behaviors affect modern electronics.
• What QCA is, and the interactions between theoretical computer science and theoretical physics.
• The importance of “error correction” in electronics.
