Summary of Program

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, Rigetti, 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 $7,500 to $15,500, based on academic rank (junior, senior, 1st year graduate student, etc.).

Applications for 2023 are open until January 22nd, 2023.

Invited speakers:Tameem Albash (University of New Mexico), Piotr Czarnik (Jagiellonian University), David Gosset (University of Waterloo), Aram Harrow (MIT), Robert Huang (Caltech), Nathan Killoran (Xanadu), Jarrod McClean (Google), Peter Shor (MIT), Guillaume Verdon, Stephan Woerner (IBM Research)

Invited Speakers: Scott Aaronson (UT Austin), Fernando Brandao (CalTech), Elizabeth Crosson (U New Mexico), Christopher Granade (Microsoft Research), Travis Humble (ORNL), John Martinis (Google), Margaret Martonosi (Princeton U), Jarrod McClean (Google), Seth Merkel (IBM), Chris Monroe (U Maryland), Alejandro Perdomo-Ortiz (Zapata Computing), Mauricio Reis (D-Wave), Will Zeng (Stanford U)

Invited Speakers: Sergio Boixo (Google), Alex Condello (D-Wave), Susan Coppersmith (Wisconsin), Ivan Deutsch (UNM), Jungsang Kim (IonQ / Duke), Daniel Lidar (USC), Doug McClure (IBM), Peter Shor (MIT), Matthias Troyer (Microsoft), Eleanor Rieffel (NASA), Will Zeng (Rigetti)

In the first 2 weeks, students will attend lectures given by world-leading experts from both academia and industry in quantum computing research. The lectures will cover the following topics:

Following the 2-week lecture period, each student will work on a research project in quantum computing for the remaining 8 weeks. For this research project, each student will be paired with a LANL mentor who will propose project topics and provide guidance. Each project will involve some hands-on programming of a quantum computer (either Rigetti's, IBMs, or D-Waves). If time permits, the student will begin preparing their results for publication.

The program will begin on June 5th, 2023 and will last 10 weeks.
