Quantum Week at Yale geared toward novices and experts alike
(Yale.edu) Quantum Week at Yale, organized by the Yale Quantum Institute (YQI), will feature a hackathon, a lab tour, a movie screening, a record launch party, hands-on computer programming, a superconductive jewelry display, and an assortment of quantum-related library and museum exhibits.
The activities began April 8 and run through April 14. A full list of events is available here.
“Yale’s quantum scientists are at the very top of this field,” said Florian Carle, YQI manager and coordinator for the event. “We want to take some of the excitement we see in the labs and at YQI and share it with the rest of the campus.”

YQI has partnered with 18 Yale departments and centers to create 23 events for Quantum Week at Yale. One of the challenges in organizing the week, Carle explained, was developing an engaging mix of activities suited for both experienced researchers and quantum science novices.
To that end, the week is organized around four components: Understanding Quantum, Art & Quantum, Career and Entrepreneurship, and For Researchers.
