Quantum Logo

Quantum is an initiative that aims to remove the barrier to entry in quantum science. Hosted in collaboration with the Quantum Computing Student Association at UCLA, we teach introductory quantum computing by focusing on intuition—no advanced mathematics or physics required.

[ Applied Track - MS 6201 Tuesdays, 6-7pm ]


Introductory Workshop Schedule

01

The qubit and quantum gates

Learn what makes a qubit more powerful than a classical bit and how we can manipulate them with quantum gates.

02

Quantum circuits & teleportation

Begin constructing more complex quantum circuits, including a teleportation circuit! Learn to code in Qiskit.

03

Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm

Learn about and implement one of the first quantum algorithms with quantum advantage.

04

Grover's Algorithm — the theory

Learn about the fastest known approach to unstructured search, Grover's algorithm.

05

Grover's Algorithm — the implementation

Work in groups to implement Grover's algorithm from scratch and run it on real quantum computers!

06

Extra content

If there is sufficient interest and time, we'll cover anything you're curious about!


Applied Track Schedule

The Applied Track

The Applied Track is intended to explore whatever you're most interested in! This is a great opportunity to gain real-world experience and make meaningful contributions to the quantum computing community.

Open source

Implemented quantum algorithms in open-source libraries

QEC + benchmarks

Contributed to error correction & benchmarking efforts

Spin qubits

Explored the theory of spin qubits


Meet the Team

Victor Yu

Victor Yu

CO-PRESIDENT

Victor is a third-year at UCLA studying Electrical Engineering. He works in the Petta Group to develop automated tune-up and qubit calibration sequences for quantum dot devices. In his free time, he enjoys playing the piano, reading fantasy & science fiction, eating good food, and going on runs.

Aarav Pabla

Aarav Pabla

CO-PRESIDENT

Aarav is a computer science and physics student. He is interested in fault-tolerant quantum computing and quantum complexity theory. He has worked on efficient quantum code architectures and creating robust implementations of fault-tolerant protocols in the presence of realistic hardware noise. In his free time, he likes to go on bike trips, play tennis, and go amusement park hopping.

Cyrus Zeng

OFFICER

Cyrus Zeng is a second-year at UCLA studying math and computer science. Outside of class he builds data and product projects - recommendation systems, analytics dashboards, and product wireframes - and is learning quantum in his own time as well. He likes anything music, follows soccer and the Premier League, and occasionally hits the gym.
