The Public Lecture Series in Quantum Information Science & Engineering brings leading scientists to the University of Washington for free, accessible talks on exciting advances in quantum technologies. These talks are designed to spark curiosity and foster a deeper appreciation of quantum information. The annual speaker is invited by UW graduate students completing the QISE Certificate. Lectures are presented with support from the NSF-funded Accelerating Quantum-Enabled Technologies (AQET) graduate training program and UW QuantumX.
