Research Institute for Advanced Computer Science
An institute of the Universities Space Research Association
Founded in 1983, RIACS has been conducting research on artificial intelligence long before AI became a household buzzword. RIACS has collaborated with NASA’s Ames Research Center, BCG X, ARPA-E, and USGS, as well as other academic, government, and industry research organizations. Join us as we tackle complex problems on weather, land, water, and space for the benefit of humanity.
The mission of RIACS quantum computing team is to advance the industry and the body of knowledge in quantum information related sciences, and to continue to provide to its partners the most qualified technical support to address hard challenges in applied computer science.

The NASA Life Sciences Platform Team was recently nominated for the Rotary National Award for Space Achievement (RNASA) Foundation’s prestigious Stellar Award. The nomination is “recognition of the respect the team has earned for its hard work and exceptional accomplishments” in developing the platform that hosts the NASA Life Sciences Portal (NLSP).

In a recent paper published in Physical Review Letters, Universities Space Research Association's Filip Wudarski and his team showed that understanding the source of noise is of primary importance for quantum computers. The paper discusses how scientists can study the specific features of low-frequency noise in a quantum bit (qubit) using relatively short measurements. These measurements are shorter than the time it takes for the noise source to explore all its possible states, and thus reach the ergodic limit.

The Universities Space Research Association (USRA) has been issued a subaward from the NSF's ExpandQISE program, a major effort part of the National Quantum Initiative connecting leading institutions in quantum science with diverse student populations. The grant will enable USRA and its partners to develop and test cutting-edge quantum algorithms, enhance educational resources, and establish new quantum science labs, contributing significantly to the nation's quantum research and education landscape.

An international team of researchers led by Rafael Luque of the University of Chicago discovered a system with six planets that orbit their central star in a rhythmic beat, a rare case of “in-sync” gravitational lockstep that could offer deep insight into planet formation. Universities Space Research Association’s Senior Scientist David Rapetti was a coauthor on the paper and findings were published in the journal Nature on November 29, 2023.
