Be a part of world-class research next summer
Learn about quantum information processing and gain research experience
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) has learning opportunities available for undergraduate students interested in quantum information processing.Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP) – June 3 – 14, 2024Start the summer with a two-week introduction to the theoretical and experimental study of quantum information processing, including 30 hours of hands-on time in the labs. You will get the opportunity to interact with students from around the world and work with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and IQC faculty members. USEQIP is offered at no cost to students. Accommodations and meals are covered, and you can also apply for travel bursaries.Learn more about USEQIP from past participants Julia, Thomas and Morgan about what it’s like to be part of this unique training experience for undergraduate students, and how it shaped their academic journey.Undergraduate Research Award – all summerAfter gaining a foundational understanding of quantum information science and technology at USEQIP, you have an opportunity to spend the summer with IQC through an Undergraduate Research Award (URA). During your URA, you will work with one of IQC’s researchers on innovative theoretical techniques or advanced laboratory experiments.Not only will you enhance your research experience and prepare for your graduate studies and research career, but you will get the chance to attend IQC seminars, lectures, and student talks. This is a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in an interdisciplinary research community, spanning mathematics, computing science, physics, chemistry, and engineering.Apply before January 2, 2024.You can choose to apply only to USEQIP or to apply for both an Undergraduate Research Award and USEQIP.
