Quantum Discovery
Cost
- July 5 - July 11
The Quantum Discovery summer camp is designed to expose students of the cross disciplinary departments of IQUIST to inform students on the pathways into careers related to Quantum science. This camp's aim is to support traditionally excluded populations in STEM including (but not limited to) the areas of gender, race, 1st generation college, ethnicity, and ability. All are welcome to apply.
IQUIST (Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology) Center brings together physicists, electrical engineers, computer scientists, mathematicians, entrepreneurs, and other experts to accelerate growing efforts in quantum information science (QIS) at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. The Quantum Discovery Science Summer camp will expose students to the departments of IQUIST through engaging hands-on projects, lab demonstrations, and interacting with current graduate students to learn about different careers related to quantum science. This camp will explore topics related to quantum science such as:
- Magnetism
- Superconductivity
- Wave dynamics
- Quantum Computing
Campers will get hands-on experience through projects across the multiple disciplines of quantum science including physics, computing, materials science, and more. Campers will also learn about career fields related to quantum and societal impacts of future developments in quantum science.
