Research Experiences for Undergraduates 2026

RQS offers a summer undergraduate research program working closely with the Physics, Electrical and Computer Engineering, and Computer Science departments.  Undergraduates are selected through a competitive application process and participate in a 10-week immersive quantum simulation research project within RQS research groups at the University of Maryland.  Undergraduates also participate in other RQS programs, seminars, and networking lunches, and showcase their research through a poster session.
