Course Overview

This is a first-of-its-kind program designed to bring together a diverse cohort of undergraduate students interested in learning about the field of quantum computing. This introductory program will equip students with foundational quantum computing skills, in addition to general skills for an internship, including professionalism and research skills. Then students will be paired with a host organization to work on a real-world quantum computing project. Last summer, host organizations included IBM Quantum, Google AI, bp, Unitary Fund, and Qunnect.
