Opportunities for Faculty
The Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA), with the support of the Department of Energy and C2QA's institutional partners, offers yearly opportunities for faculty to learn more about quantum information science and to participate in the research of the center.
Visiting Faculty Program
Application period is closed
College faculty members are provided an opportunity to increase their research competitiveness at institutions historically underrepresented in the research community by collaborating with Brookhaven Lab research staff on a project of mutual interest.
Faculty Outreach for Quantum-Invested UniversitieS (FOQUS)
Application period is closed
To introduce HBCU faculty to quantum information science, and engage them with researchers from BNL's Co-design Center for Quantum Advantage (C2QA) on potential collaborative opportunities.
C2QA QIS 102: Applied Quantum Computing Summer School
Application period is closed
Brookhaven National Laboratory offers a three-week virtual workshop to introduce university faculty to the exciting world of quantum information science (QIS), in a “Train-the-Trainer” style program. Led by David Biersach, through a series of demonstrations and hands-on programming labs, academics will learn how quantum algorithms, when applied to specific problem domains, can outperform classical computers. Attendees will learn IBM Qiskit, a world-class software package for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. Attendees will download and install the 100% open-source courseware and development tools on their personal computers, which they will use during the program.
Accepted academics will be provided with a weekly stipend and those who successfully complete the workshop will be presented with a certificate from Brookhaven National Laboratory attesting to their skills in Applied Quantum Computing.
The workshop will run each day, Monday – Friday, for three weeks from June 10 – 28, 2024 from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m. ET (two 1-hour breaks) and be conducted entirely via Zoom web conferencing.
