Hello Everyone,

Tonight will be the second QCI meeting of the semester and we are lucky to have a few representatives from IBM's Quantum Experience visiting. We will be talking about qubit measurements and quantum key distribution!

If you weren't able to make the first meeting, don't worry! Much of what we covered will be reviewed and the notes from last meeting are available here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_A81_hzXP0iOuvSPZJRL-7XYLbuZNhG26ytDrZ6EXiw/edit?usp=sharing

First Meeting Notes Game plan: Qualitatively describe differences between qubits and bits Introduce some tools from Linear Algebra Use these tools to formally describe bits Extend our description to include qubits Use this description to look at an example of qubits offering an advantage The C...

Hello Everyone!

As we kick off the school year, we want to announce details about two separate info sessions QCI will be holding before we settle into our weekly meetings. These two info sessions will be for any students looking to learn more about QCI, and they will serve to primarily review the current state of quantum computing technology as well as the role QCI hopes to play in this emerging field.

The Info-sessions will be:

Friday, Sep 1st from 4:00-5:00 PM in WAG 101.

Wednesday, Sep 6th from 6:00-7:00 PM in NOA 1.126

After the Sep 6th info session, regular meetings will be held every Wednesday in NOA 1.126 from 6:00 to 7:00PM. Future changes in our schedule will be communicated through email as well as posted on our page. We look forward to seeing you at our upcoming events!

We are excited to announce the first quantum computing organization for students at the University of Texas at Austin.

QCI is a community of peers who share a common passion for learning about quantum information processing and the exciting potential of quantum algorithms.

Group meetings will initially cover the foundational ideas of quantum information and quantum circuits with the larger goal of understanding and creating original quantum algorithms. In addition to informational meetings, we are planning quantum coding workshops, and guest speakers from research and industry fields.

As we prepare for our first group meeting, we would appreciate it if you took a quick survey. This will help us asses interest among students, plan the scope and pace of meeting topics, and pick a meeting time that accommodates the most people.

Please contact us at [email protected] if you have any questions!
