In recent years, the field of quantum computation is experiencing an impressive awakening, represented in many startup companies working on related technologies. These technologies revolve around storing and manipulating information encoded not in bits (1s and 0s), but in quantum states – where combinations of 0s and 1s are allowed.

The Racah Institute congratulates Dr. Amir Erez for winning the Irwin Oppenheim Award for 2022. This award recognizes outstanding contributions to physics by early career scientists who publish in Physical Review E (PRE). 

Dr. Erez won the prize for demonstrating the trade-offs associated with feedback-induced criticality in multicellular sensing, through analysis of simple models, which is published in the article entitled ‘Multicellular sensing at a feedback-induced critical point’ in Physical Review E 102, 052411 (2020).

The Racah Institute of Physics Welcomes You!

The Racah Institute of Physics is a center for excellence in physics research in Israel. Every summer, we welcome a new group of undergraduates for a 1-week introduction to the areas of physics we study. If you are finishing your 2nd year of undergraduate studies, and are interested in pursuing a MSc and PhD in physics, we want you to come meet current physics faculty and students at HUJI, tour our labs, and hear about life in Jerusalem.
