Interested in quantum research?
Students at the FAMU-FSU College of Engineering have a wide range of opportunities to participate in quantum research and workforce development. These opportunities not only give students direct exposure to frontier research but also prepare them with the skills and networks needed to become future leaders in the quantum era.
Research Assistantships
Supported by major NSF and DOE grants, students gain hands-on experience in quantum device fabrication, cryogenics, quantum sensing and quantum communication experiments.
NSF ExpandQISE Programs
With more than $10M awarded in 2024, these programs provide stipends, mentoring and training for undergraduate and graduate students, while also supporting the development of new courses and lab facilities.
Internships and REUs
Students can participate in Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REUs) and internships at the National MagLab, national laboratories, and partner universities such as Yale, Notre Dame and the University of Chicago.
Quantum Engineering Certificate
A new certificate program in development will allow students to earn formal recognition of their training in quantum information science and engineering, complementing degrees across multiple engineering disciplines.
Outreach and Engagement
Dedicated programs reach students from HBCUs and minority-serving institutions, offering summer internships, workshops and collaborative training that broaden participation in the quantum workforce.
Professional Development
Students are encouraged to attend and present at major conferences (e.g., LT30, APS March Meeting, QISE workshops), network with industry and government partners and participate in career development seminars tailored to the quantum field.
