June 02 2025 -- Purdue recently hosted the Quantum Summer School for the Department of Energy’s Quantum Science Center (QSC), welcoming more than 100 graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral researchers and faculty from across the country.

The weeklong program, led by the Purdue Quantum Science and Engineering Institute on the West Lafayette campus, featured presentations from academic experts on the latest developments in theory, research and application, plus hands-on demonstrations and training from quantum industry insiders. It was the fifth annual QSC Quantum Summer School.

The Quantum Science Center, headquartered at Oak Ridge National Laboratory, is one of five multidisciplinary National Quantum Information Science Research Centers supported by the Department of Energy’s Office of Science. Central to the QSC mission is developing the next generation of scientists and engineers, and the summer school is a hallmark of that effort.
