QSO members collaborate in small, interdisciplinary groups to explore the intersection of quantum computing with diverse fields, including finance, machine learning, and beyond. These projects provide hands-on experience and foster creative problem-solving within the quantum computing domain.

This biweekly, student-led series provided a foundational understanding of quantum mechanics to QSO members. The series guided participants through key concepts such as superposition, entanglement, and quantum algorithms, assuming no prior knowledge. This initiative aimed to equip QSO members with the necessary theoretical groundwork to confidently pursue their individual quantum projects.

QSO members showcased the fascinating phenomenon of quantum levitation at the Quantum Open House. They introduced attendees, including prospective students and members of the local community, to the underlying scientific principles, such as quantum locking. Hands-on demonstrations allowed participants to experience the levitation of superconductors cooled with liquid nitrogen, including setups with linear and circular tracks for observing sliding and rotational motion. The strength and stability of the magnetic levitation captivated the audience and generated significant interest.

As quantum technologies continue to make headlines, it can be hard to track what's been done, what's left to do, and what it all means anyway. QSTEP aims to clear a path for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students to understand what quantum science is all about and how it relates (or could relate) to their future research and careers.

Join us for this semester's callout to learn what QSO is about and how you can get involved!

Come visit QSO's table to see what quantum information science is and what we are planning this year.

A virtual industry and academia panel where everyone is welcome to join! This is a great opportunity to ask questions and learn more about quantum science from both academia and industry perspective.

we have guest speaker Kathryn Spendier from @quantinuumqc coming to talk about introduction to quantum computing! This talk is targeted all students so we hope to see you there!

We’ll be hosting Dr. Arnab Banerjee this Tuesday, February 27th, where he will discuss the quantum computation route to magnetic phase discovery. Please fill the RSVP form (in the bio) if you plan to attend the talk! If you are interested in learning more about what goes into the experimental process in Dr. Banerjee’s lab, stop by the journal club this Monday, February 26th, where Lauren Bell will discuss instruments and automation in quantum.

Join us at the Interclub Game night this Saturday!

Join us THIS monday to learn more about Rydberg States for quantum information with Purdue professor Valentin Walther! Don’t forget to use the link in the bio to RSVP. Food and snacks will be provided - see you all on Monday 🥳

Brian Miles works in the Chief Security Organization on post-quantum security for AT&T. He'll be talking about the scale and impact of the introduction of quantum computers to society, cybersecurity solutions in the post-quantum world, quantum technology landscape, projected growths in quantum-related markets, and ‼️most importantly‼️, 🌟emerging career opportunities🌟!!

Russel Ceballos from Chicago Exchange will be presenting THIS Thursday about opportunities in quantum 

Excited to announce that our second talk in the series “What is quantum?” is going to be with Professor Eric Samperton introducing quantum computing!

As quantum technologies begin to make headlines, it can be hard to keep track of what's been done, what's left to do, and what it all means anyway. QSaP aims to clear a path for undergraduates and beginning graduate students to understand what quantum science is all about and how it relates (or could relate) to their future research and careers.

We're excited to kick off the first series of Quantum talks with the incredibly brilliant Professor Alex Ma! If you plan to attend, which you totally should, please fill out the form in our bio to RSVP. See you there!
