Applications are open for the 2054 Quantum Computing Summer School at Los Alamos National Laboratory (LANL). Students can apply here: https://lanl-summer-school-programs.wizehive.app/program/quantum-computing-summer-school-fellowship

Deadline for the applications is January 19th.

This highly-selective program is designed for upper division undergraduates to graduate students. We encourage students from all STEM majors (physics, computer science, engineering, math, chemistry, etc.) to apply. US as well as non-US citizens are eligible to apply.

The Quantum Computing Summer School is an immersive 10-week curriculum that includes tutorials from world-leading experts in quantum computation as well as one-on-one mentoring from LANL staff scientists who are conducting cutting-edge quantum computing research. Summer school fellowship recipients will be exposed to the theoretical foundations of quantum computation and will become skilled at programming commercial quantum computers, such as those developed by D-Wave Systems, Quera, Quantinuum, and IBM. Roughly twenty students (with the precise number determined based on the applicant pool) will be awarded a fellowship from LANL for the summer school. The fellowship amount ranges from $10,000 to $20,000, based on academic rank. All students (undergraduate and graduate) are encouraged to apply. The school will be held from June 2rd to August 8th 2025.
