Education and Outreach

The Quantum Materials and Sensing Institute is dedicated to education and outreach that develops future talent pursuing quantum-related research, development and commercialization.  That talent is the source of the innovations that will power our future economies, and it must be passionately nurtured and provided a safe space to grow and explore.  

Northeastern Undergraduates Participate in Quantum Research Tour

Feb. 21, 2025: Northeastern University undergraduate students participated in a tour of quantum research at QMSI. The students had the opportunity to learn about the institute and the quantum research initiatives being pursued by Northeastern University’s world-class QMSI faculty, research scientists, post-doctoral associates, and graduate students. In addition, a tour of the QMSI laboratories on the Northeastern University Burlington Campus provided real-life exposure to the activities and instrumentation involved in executing leading-edge quantum research.

2024 Quantum Engineering & Science Opportunities Workshop (QuESO)

Oct. 12-13, 2024: QMSI hosted the 2024 Quantum Engineering & Science Opportunities Workshop (QuESO), a free two-day workshop exploring quantum science, technologies, and engineering, available to all Northeastern students and intended for upper-level undergraduates and graduate students.  The 2024 QuESO Workshop introduced quantum systems and provided hands-on experience working with various quantum technologies – an important emerging class of technologies which use the unique properties of quantum systems to enable new capabilities, such as new types of computation, sensing, and other functionalities.
