Entangling undergraduate students with quantum success
Each year, the Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) invites top undergraduate students from around the world to the University of Waterloo for the opportunity to immerse themselves in quantum information science and technology. This program, the Undergraduate School on Experimental Quantum Information Processing (USEQIP), provides participants with lectures on quantum information theory and experimental approaches to quantum devices, as well as over 30 hours of hands-on laboratory and experimental exploration.
