About

A community for quantum computing at BU.

What is this?

About Us

Established in Fall 2025, BU Quantum aims to foster a community around quantum computing, on campus. We’re building a space for interested students to learn more about the field and discuss the research they have been working on.

What are we doing?

Our Work

  1. We help beginners get started with quantum computing: from learning basic linear alebra and building their first quantum circuit, to eventually breaking RSA encryption with Shor's algorithm. We do this through bootcamp-style workshops and lesson aimed at undergraduates.
  2. We host events for faculty and fellow students to explain and discuss their research, providing broad coverage of ideas at the forefront of the field at a graduate level.
  3. We host quantum programming workshops, meant to survery broad of quantum hardware solutions and focused on software implementation of the algorithms. These are accessible to beginners and experts alike.

When are the events?

Our Schedule

We meet every week: alternating between general, lesson-style events aimed at undergraduates and specialized, seminar-style events aimed at graduates and dedicated undergrads.

The meetings take place every Friday in room 701 of the CDS building, from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
