Quantum Week at Yale

April 13 to 19, 2024

A week to celebrate quantum science on the Yale Campus!

To celebratre (World Quantum Day!) on April 14, the Yale Quantum Institute is bringing to you once more Quantum Week at Yale (or QWAY!).

QWAY is a full week of quantum-related events (from Saturday April 13 to Friday April 19) all over campus to help people outside the field to enter the fascinating world of quantum science and to celebrate Yale leadership in this field!

Quantum Week at Yale is created by Florian Carle for the Yale Quantum Institute, in partnership with the Yale Undergraduate Quantum Computing Club, the Bass Library and the Science Librarians at Yale, and QuantumCT. QWAY flyer was designed by Martha W Lewis and Florian Carle.

@ Bass Library
Quantum Books

Audience: Open to the public.

The 2023–2024 Model Research Collection, “From DOS to Qiskit: Turning Entanglement into Quantum Computation” on view in Bass Library, closes on May 6. The collection, curated by Florian Carle, manager of the YQI, documents the rapid advances made in the field of quantum theory since the early 20th century. The collection features selected titles from Yale Library collections and devices from Yale laboratories. The full list of the books in the Model Research Collection “From DOS to Qiskit” is available online.

Permanent collection
Quantum at Yale
@ Online Exhibition
Quantum-Online Exhibit

Audience: Online - Open to all.

In collaboration with Marx Science and Social Science Library, the exhibit celebrates Yale University’s achievements in advancing our fundamental understanding of quantum science and engineering and turning quantum physics into practical technologies. Viewers will discover profiles of quantum researchers, highlights of faculty authored books, illustrations of fundamental instruments and equipment, and entrepreneurial ventures.

How to Join the Quantum Workforce?
@ Online Professional Development Panels


Audience: Online - Open to all.

Building quantum technology requires a lot of people with different backgrounds (physicists, electrical engineers, computer scientists, software engineers, chemists, …) and it can be overwhelming to consider a career in quantum science and information.
This series of 5 public virtual professional development panels (College, Graduate School, Faculty Positions, Start-ups, and Industry) dedicated to share information on careers in the field of quantum science and information, from College t, allows to learn from students and researchers in the field what it is like to work in quantum science and get advice on navigating the various pathways.
