To celebrate World Quantum Day on April 14, and the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology, the Yale Quantum Institute is bringing to you Quantum Week at Yale (or QWAY!).
QWAY is a full week of quantum-related events (from Thursday April 10 to Thursday April 17) all over campus to help people outside the field to enter the fascinating world of quantum science and to celebrate Yale leadership in this field!
Quantum Week at Yale is created by Florian Carle for the Yale Quantum Institute, in partnership with Connecticut Center for Arts and Technology, the Connecticut Science Center, the International Festival of Arts and Ideas, QuantumCT, Yale Library, Yale Undergraduate Quantum Computing Club, Yale Wright Lab, and Yale Ventures. QWAY flyer was designed by Martha W Lewis and Florian Carle.
Non-linear trapped-ion oscillators in micro-fabricated Penning traps
New Tools for Dark Matter and Gravitational Wave Detection: Cryogenic Optical Resonators and Long-Baseline Atom Interferometers
Dive into the fascinating world of quantum technology with Dr. Florian Carle, Managing Director of the Yale Quantum Institute, as he unravels the mysteries of quantum science in a way that’s accessible to all.
Known for his creative approach to science outreach. Florian will demystify the core concepts of quantum computing in an approachable introduction, and explore its transformative applications in various industries, including finance, healthcare, logistics, energy, the future opportunity for high-tech jobs, and how to be involved in this new field!
This open to all event will feature quantum science artworks and a live demonstration of using a real quantum computer. Whether you are a quantum-curious student, simply eager to explore new frontiers, or want to go all in in this field, this event promises to be both educational and entertaining.
This gentle introduction of quantum technology that does not require any previous knowledge! Come learn with us!
Monika Schleier-Smith is the 2024 YQI Distinguished Lecturer In recognition of her achievements as a leading scientist in the field, in particular your groundbreaking work on advancing optical control of interactions among laser-cooled atoms.
The Yale Quantum Institute Distinguished Lecturer recognizes a researcher whose work significantly advances quantum science, with emphasis on the areas of mesoscopic physics, nanoscience, quantum information, quantum computing and related theoretical and mathematical topics.
Join us for a guided tour the quantum laboratories in Becton Center and see the superconducting quantum devices and their dillution fridges.
Join us for a guided tour the many-body quantum simulation lab guided by YQI Fellow Cedric Wilson.
YQuantum is Yale’s premier quantum computing hackathon., bringing on campus teams from Yale, UConn, Southern, and local high-school for a weekend of discovery of quanutum computation. Ready to take on the challenge? More info and registration at yquantum.info
The Quantum Sensing series aims to bring together researchers from across campus to discuss topics related to sensing at quantum scales. The objectives are to foster interdepartmental connections and identify new opportunities in this field.

This touring science and art exhibition curated by Florian Carle for the Yale University Quantum Institute captures the history and the handcrafted beauty of the groundbreaking work in quantum science and information which took place in New Haven for the last 25 years. The show features Badger, the quantum superconducting device which ran the world’s first two-qubit algorithms with a superconducting quantum processor in 2009, as well as cavities, qubits, and substrates (the nuts and bolts of quantum architecture), and original drawings by YQI Artist-in-Residence Martha W. Lewis. After stops in New Haven CT, Greensboro NC, and Paris, France at the UNESCO Headquarter, the CT Science Center is bringing you this experience for World Quantum Day!
This two-day workshop will address the needs of the community during the first Town Hall.
A selection of rare books and manuscripts from 1511 to the Twentieth Century from the collections of the Beinecke Library. Featured authors include Galileo, Newton, Gibbs, Einstein, Heisenberg, Planck, and Bohr.
This convening will bring together industry leaders, academic researchers, and innovators to explore new avenues for partnership and research, with pilot project presentations and a focused ideation session. The event will foster cross-sector collaboration through dynamic discussions, interactive sessions, and networking opportunities.
The PMs and support staff are invited to a Quantum happy hour as appreciation of their incredible work to make the Yale/UConn project a success!
The Yale Quantum Institute successfully launched its artist-in-residence program in the summer of 2017. Each year, the institute welcomes an artist for a year-long residency to produce quantum science-based artwork and visuals, participate in a series of public talks to explain their work, and the science behind it across disciplines, and in particular across the humanities-science divide.
Discover or re-discover all the Quantum Artwork created by our artists over the years here.
In collaboration with Marx Science and Social Science Library, the exhibit celebrates Yale University’s achievements in advancing our fundamental understanding of quantum science and engineering and turning quantum physics into practical technologies. Viewers will discover profiles of quantum researchers, highlights of faculty authored books, illustrations of fundamental instruments and equipment, and entrepreneurial ventures.

Building quantum technology requires a lot of people with different backgrounds (physicists, electrical engineers, computer scientists, software engineers, chemists, …) and it can be overwhelming to consider a career in quantum science and information.
This series of 5 public virtual professional development panels (College, Graduate School, Faculty Positions, Start-ups, and Industry) dedicated to share information on careers in the field of quantum science and information, from College t, allows to learn from students and researchers in the field what it is like to work in quantum science and get advice on navigating the various pathways.
