Quantum Week at Yale

April 10 to 17, 2025

A week to celebrate quantum science on the Yale Campus!

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 the Yale Undergraduate Quantum Computing Club, Wright Lab, Yale Ventures, and QuantumCT. QWAY flyer was designed by Martha W Lewis and Florian Carle.

@ Online Exhibition
Quantum Art

Audience: Open to the public.

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.

Quantum-Online Exhibit

Audience: Online - Open to all.

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.

How to Join the Quantum Workforce?
@ Online Professional Development Panels


Audience: Online - Open to all.

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.
