An accomplished entrepreneur and engineer, Dr. Jai N. Gupta is a philanthropist as well. Dr. Jai N. Gupta started the Jai N. Gupta Family Foundation, an organization that donated more than $800,000 in 2005 for the creation of a computational lab at Purdue University's College of Engineering.
Research is one of the primary functions of Purdue's College of Engineering. In recent months, a team of engineering students has been investigating quantum photonics, a technology that utilizes minute light particles called photons. The team wants to see if it is possible to use quantum photonics for switching and routing in computers. Mastering this technology could pave the way for "quantum computers,” devices that would contain an impressive amount of memory and processing power. Vladimir M. Shalaev, the leader of the Purdue team, says that the technology could have other significant uses as well. A quantum Internet, incredibly accurate atomic clocks, improved information security, and even teleportation are some of the foreseeable possibilities.
