Summer 2023

The Summer 2023 Quantum+Chips program was a dynamic two-week event featuring an exciting lineup of lectures, computer labs, demonstrations, lab tours, and site visits. Participants visited Seagate in the first week and 3M in the second. Each day included lectures by University of Minnesota faculty and industry experts from Intel, Skywater Technology, Google, and Quantinuum. Hands-on lab components included tours and demonstrations in the clean room at Keller Hall, the Minnesota Nano Center, and the Characterization Facility.
