Arjun Dalwadi, a third-year electrical and computer engineering student, is immersing himself in all things quantum through the Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs program and as an undergraduate researcher in the Gyenis Lab. Dalwadi is on the journey to make an impact for quantum computing.

Students are getting a unique perspective on the quantum field and industry through a program they themselves are helping to shape. Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs, which launched in 2023, is providing community and fellowships to students in physics, engineering, mathematics and computer science.

Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs Emily Jerris and Annalise Cabra started CU Women of Quantum to help women interested in careers in quantum to network and share experiences.

At the program’s December meeting, Todd Saliman reaffirmed CU’s commitment to the quantum education and research happening on campus.

The Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs program has garnered support from several new sponsors, leading to an increase in the number of fellowships available for students this fall.

Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs hosted an end of year celebration in late April, marking an end to the second year of this highly successful and innovative program. Over 50 students participated in Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs this year, with just over half receiving fellowships.

The quantum industry is growing quickly both locally and nationally as new applications for quantum technology expand, and CU Physics continues to meet the challenges and opportunities for our students through innovative

Five students in the Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs program have been awarded a scholarship in honor of Jennifer Turner-Valle, an alumna of CU СÀ¶ÊÓƵ Physics. The named scholarships are a tribute to Dr. Turner-Valle who passed away in 2023.Ìý

The Quantum СÀ¶ÊÓƵs Program has received a big boost in the form of a matching gift from SPIE, the international society for optics and photonics. SPIE has committed to matching $100,000 in external gifts to the program over the next two academic years.
