Quantum Summer School 2025: Celebrating the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ)

Join us this summer at the University of Wyoming (UW) for the Quantum Summer School (QSS), a premier four-day intensive program scheduled from May 20-23, 2025.

This year's QSS is especially significant as it aligns with the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ), marking the 100th anniversary since the revolutionary discovery and initial development of quantum mechanics. In recognition of this global celebration, our program will delve deep into the foundational breakthroughs and the transformative innovations that quantum science and technology promise for the future.

Supported by the National Science Foundation, UW’s Center for Quantum Information Science and Engineering and Global Engagement Office, the 2025 Quantum Summer School is meticulously 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
  • Quantum materials
  • Topological quantum computation

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 sciences, 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.
