Intro to Quantum Seminar for the Northeastern Community

Curious about quantum physics but not a physicist or physics major?  This seminar series is your chance to learn the fundamentals of quantum physics, quantum computing, quantum sensing, quantum cryptography, and quantum communication in an informal atmosphere without the need to register for a class. The seminar, open to all in the Northeastern community, will begin from basics assuming no prior knowledge of quantum mechanics and build through key concepts relevant to quantum technologies.

The seminar will be held weekly on Fridays, 10:00 – 11:00 a.m. ET, January 30-April 17. They will be held in West Village H Room 366 on the Boston Campus, as well as virtually via Teams, and will be recorded.

The first weeks of the seminar will feature tutorial lectures and then the seminar will host experts from across campus who will give accessible talks on their quantum research. The aim is to bring together the entire Northeastern community in a single setting for establishing multi-disciplinary ties across the university for all who have an interest in quantum. Students, postdocs, staff and faculty at all levels are welcome.  Questions and interactive discussions during the seminar are encouraged.

Registration is not required.
