A quantum computer

Quantum science and engineering have emerged as frontiers of fundamental knowledge about how the universe works.

More than 30 research groups across campus conduct studies and form new collaborations that intersect with several other university initiatives, with dramatic potential applications across every sector.

Partnerships

Yale is a partner in numerous initiatives to further quantum research, accelerate quantum technologies for economic development, and educate the next generation of quantum leaders.

  • Quantum CT

    A joint initiative between Yale University and the University of Connecticut to accelerate adoption of quantum technologies in Connecticut and beyond.

  • Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA)

    C2QA, led by Brookhaven National Laboratory, is one of five National Quantum Information Science Research Centers funded by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science.

Study and work in quantum

  • Undergraduates: During the summer, some research groups hire Yale undergraduates for short research projects. These projects can be extended to one or two semesters depending on interest and time commitment. Contact the principal investigator of the research group of your choice.
  • Graduate students: Principal investigators of quantum research groups are regularly looking for new graduate students. Admission to our graduate programs is open to students with a bachelor of Science (BS) degree in physics, applied physics, chemistry, and materials science, or closely related areas of engineering. For details on the Yale application process, please consult the Yale Graduate School of Arts and Sciences. 
  • Postdoctoral associates: Applications accepted on a continuous basis. Contact the principal investigator of the research group of your choice. in addition, the Yale Quantum Institute invites applicants for the YQI postdoctoral fellowships, which will support quantum research for recent PhD.recipients in the group of any YQI faculty member.
  • Faculty: There is currently a search for a tenured associate professor/full professor in experimental quantum information science. Visit the job page for more information.

Yale Institute for Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering

The Yale Institute for Nanoscience and Quantum Engineering (YINQE) is a shared core facility for electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and electron-beam lithography. Graduate students, undergraduates, post-docs, and faculty have hands-on access to all instruments.
