Summary:

This project engages two students who will be transferring from CNM to UNM to do summer research in UNM’s Quantum Undergraduate Research Experience at CHTM (QU-REACH) program. Participants receive a stipend of $7,000 for the summer and a limited amount of housing support is available. In addition to their 10-week faculty-supervised research projects, students also attend a QU-REACH seminar series which provides introductory tutorials, hands-on group activities, and recent results in quantum technology from active researchers in the field. The program concludes with a widely-attended poster session, where students print out a professional conference-style poster and present their research to faculty, students, postdocs, and other researchers at our university.
