Rebekah Herrman, assistant professor in the Department of Industrial and Systems Engineering, has been selected for editing roles for two prestigious computing publications.

Herrman has been named an associate editor of the new quantum computing area of the INFORMS Journal on Computing and has been selected as a 2025 Editor of Distinction for the Springer Quantum Information Processing Journal.

The quantum computing area of INFORMS publishes works at the intersection of quantum computing (QC) and operations research (OR). All high-quality research works that study the use of or techniques for problems arising in the design and operation of quantum computers, and those that study the development of or techniques that benefit from the QC paradigm will be considered for publication in this area. This includes theoretical, computational, and experimental work.

The inaugural quantum computing area editor for INFORMS is Giacomo Nannicini of the University of Southern California. Herrman is one of three associate editors, alongside Carleton Coffrin of Los Alamos National Laboratory, and Sander Gribling of Tilburg University (Netherlands).

The Springer Quantum Information Processing Journal is a high-impact, international journal that publishes cutting-edge experimental and theoretical research in all areas of quantum information science. The journal is particularly interested in papers detailing and demonstrating quantum information protocols for cryptography, communications, computation, and sensing.
