Faculty Workshops

To help increase the number of faculty capable of, and actively working towards, including quantum information science and technology in their curriculum we are hosting two faculty workshops. Both workshops will be held on ��'s campus in north county San Diego. Space is limited. Applications are now open with review expected to begin early March and continue until all available spots are full. Travel support is available for eligible faculty (priority given to CSU faculty).

If you have questions please contact Justin Perron at jperron@csusm.edu.

Workshop 1

Introductory QIST and educational modules
Mon. June 2nd - Wed. June 4th, 2025

This workshop is designed for quantum adjacent faculty, those with expertise in QIST related fields like computer science, math, and physics but with minimal experience in QIST. The first day of the workshop will include a crash course in introductory QIST concepts to build the foundational knowledge of QIST. The remainder of day 1 as well as days 2 and 3 of the workshop participants will work through lessons and activities subject matter experts have used to deliever QIST content. Participants should leave with a firm understanding of the basic QIST concepts and be equipped with tools they can adapt and use in their existing STEM courses.

Workshop 2

Quantum Sensing
Wed. June 11th - Fri. June 13th, 2025

This workshop is aimed at faculty with some familiarity with basic QIST concepts. This year's workshop will focus on quantum sensing and its applications. Following a broad introduction to what quantum sensing is (both "quantum 1.0" and "quantum 2.0" technology types), specific technologies and applications will be covered. Participants should leave with a stronger understanding of quantum sensing and its applications, as well as motivated and confident in their ability to share this content with their students.
