Harvard will launch a Ph.D. program in quantum science and engineering, one of the first in the world, the University announced today. The program has been designed to train the next generation of leaders and innovators in a domain of physics already having transformative effects on electrical engineering and computer science, biology and chemistry and poised to transform other fields, too, as researchers demonstrate increasing capability to harness and control quantum effects that defy explanations based on the principles of classical physics alone. Simultaneously, the University revealed that it plans a major renovation of 60 Oxford Street in order to house key portions of its ambitious quantum program. The transformation of that 94,000 gross-square-foot building, constructed in 2007, into a quantum-science and engineering hub is made possible by what the University described in a statement as “generous support from Stacey L.

Town and Gown
The section on capital projects in the 2020 edition of Harvard’s annual “Town Gown Report” to the City of Cambridge in recent years chock-full of construction work planned or in progress, thanks to The Harvard Campaign and continuing programs like House renewal suddenly reflects a far narrower pipeline. Beyond the second and third stages of the
Adams House renewal, nothing is on the horizon. This reflects both Harvard’s rotation toward Allston and the severe reduction in capital spending in response to the pandemic’s financial impact. The Eliot and Kirkland House renewals now look unlikely before late in the decade. Similarly, the projection of faculty members based in Cambridge shown in the 2019 report as 2,100 to 2,200 for the year 2024 is now 2,000 to 2,200 for 2025. There is no change in full-time equivalents, but the lower midpoint overall may reflect both relocating engineering and applied sciences professors to Al
