For the third year in a row, the Quantum Science Center held its signature workforce development event: a comprehensive summer school for students and early-career scientists designed to facilitate conversations and hands-on activities related to multiple areas of quantum research.
The hybrid event featured a packed program at core QSC partner Purdue University, which hosted 140 in-person participants, more than 100 of which were students and postdocs. Hundreds of others attended online via the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute’s Quantum Coffeehouse YouTube channel, either live or after the school concluded.
QSC Workforce Development Lead and Purdue Professor Alexandra Boltasseva, Purdue Associate Dean for Research and Partnerships Garth Simpson, and QSC Director Travis Humble welcomed speakers and attendees to the school and shared their hopes for the future of quantum and the QSC, a Department of Energy National Quantum Information Science Research Center headquartered at DOE’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
