DARPA awards for excellence
The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has announced its 2002 Awards for Excellence.
Isaac Chuang from MIT received the Award for Significant Technical Achievement for his contribution to experimental quantum computing including his team's creation of a 7-bit liquid NMR quantum computer.
Miguel Nicolelis, Duke University, Durham, N.C, and John Chapin, State University of New York Health Science Center receive the Award for Sustained Excellence for their work on revolutionary projects to extract neural codes from the brain to understand and exploit sensory and motor work. During tests, a monkey was able to control the movements of a robotic arm in another room by generating the executive command in the brain.
