University of Washington professors Xiaodong Xu, Cynthia Vinzant, and Shayan Oveis Gharan have been honored by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) for their outstanding research achievements. The NAS awards program has been recognizing outstanding achievement in the physical, biological, and social sciences since 1866. The annual awards ceremony will honor the major contributions made by 20 researchers.
Xu received the NAS Award for Scientific Discovery for his experimental observation of the fractional quantum anomalous Hall effect. This award, presented every two years, recognizes an accomplishment or discovery in basic research within the previous five years that is expected to have a significant impact on astronomy, biochemistry, biophysics, chemistry, materials science, or physics. Xu's research explores new quantum phenomena in layered two-dimensional materials and engineered quantum systems. Vinzant and Oveis Gharan, along with Nima Anari and Kuikui Liu, will receive the Michael and Sheila Held Prize for breakthrough work advancing the theory of matroids and mixing rates of Markov chains. The Michael and Sheila Held Prize is presented annually to honor outstanding, innovative, creative, and influential research in the areas of combinatorial and discrete optimization, or related parts of computer science, such as the design and analysis of algorithms and complexity theory. This $100,000 prize is intended to recognize recent work.

Recent developments highlight advancements in quantum computing, artificial intelligence, and cryptography. Classiq Technologies, in collaboration with Sumitomo Corporation and Mizuho-DL Financial Technology, achieved up to 95% compression of quantum circuits for Monte Carlo simulations used in financial risk analysis. This project explored the use of Classiq’s technology to generate more efficient quantum circuits for a novel quantum Monte Carlo simulation algorithm incorporating pseudo-random numbers proposed by Mizuho-DL FT, evaluating the feasibility of implementing quantum algorithms in financial applications.
Oxford researchers demonstrated a fast, 99.8% fidelity two-qubit gate using a simplified circuit design, achieving this using a modified coaxmon circuit architecture. Also, a collaborative team from JPMorganChase, Quantinuum, Argonne National Laboratory, Oak Ridge National Laboratory, and the University of Texas at Austin demonstrated a certified randomness protocol using a 56-qubit Quantinuum System Model H2 trapped-ion quantum computer. This is a major milestone for real-world quantum applications, with the certified randomness validated using over 1.1 exaflops of classical computing power, confirming the quantum system’s ability to generate entropy beyond classical reach. The 2025 IEEE International Conference on Quantum Artificial Intelligence will be held in Naples, Italy, from November 2-5, 2025, with a paper submission deadline of May 15, 2025. Vanderbilt University will host a series of workshops devoted to Groups in Geometry, Analysis and Logic starting May 28, 2025.
