What is QSR?

QSR was founded in 1995 at the urging of David Packard to pursue fundamental research in areas of physical science that will be the foundation for technologies crucial to Hewlett-Packard Co. on the 10+ year time scale. Our objective is to define and explore the limits of the physically possible. The core research areas are currently nanoscale science and the fundamental physics of switching, with a significant emphasis on molecular electronics.
