About the qss
Supported by the National Science Foundation, UW’s Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering and Global Engagement Office, the 2026 Quantum Summer School has been expressly designed to immerse participants in the dynamic and rapidly evolving field of quantum information science and engineering. Attendees will gain comprehensive exposure to theoretical foundations, practical applications, and recent advancements in:
- Quantum computing - including new materials for superconducting qubits, decoherence mitigation, and material simulations on NISQ hardware
- Spin topology, emergent electrodynamics, transport phenomena in noncollinear quantum magnets
- Topological quantum computation
- Quantum algorithms
Whether you’re an undergraduate or graduate student, a postdoctoral researcher, a research scientist, or a faculty member interested in advancing your understanding of quantum engineering, the QSS offers a stimulating environment to expand your knowledge and sharpen your technical skills.
Participants will benefit from engaging lectures and interactive sessions led by distinguished experts from top universities, national laboratories, and leading quantum industry partners.
Don’t miss this exceptional opportunity to network with fellow scholars, industry leaders, and pioneers in quantum technology, and to gain invaluable insights into the future of this transformative field!
