Loudoun County Academy of Science
Ari Misha Dyckovsky, 18, of Leesburg, worked with quantum entanglement and theoretical quantum information systems for his
Intel Science Talent Search project in physics and space science. Quantum entanglement involves intimately linking particles
so that they maintain precisely correlated characteristics, even when separated. Ari envisioned a new way to entangle quantum
objects using the interference characteristics of emitted light photons. He then extended previously derived mathematical
formulas to incorporate additional parameters and conducted a detailed computational analysis to define the theoretical
quality and efficiency of this new method for transmitting information. Ari believes that his protocol may one day help
make a quantum internet and quantum computers possible. Ari is a recreational tennis player and a classical guitarist and
attends the Loudoun County Academy of Science in Sterling. He was chosen by the school to participate in the International
Space Olympics 2010 in Moscow — and placed first in this worldwide competition. Ari is a group leader in Moody’s Mega Math
M3 Challenge and plans to pursue a career in scientific research. He is the son of Amy Dyckovsky and Jeffrey Trim.
