National Quantum Fellowship Program

The LQC National Quantum Fellowship Program supports research of talented U.S. citizen graduate students and postdoctoral candidates to stimulate participation in research related to quantum computing by pursuing research focused on advancing quantum information science (QIS) devices. Research topics must be connected to advancing qubit devices and may be experimental or theoretical in nature. While the emphasis is on quantum computing, proposals for quantum sensing and networking will also be considered. The duration of the graduate student fellowship is three years and two years for postdoctoral fellowships. 

Eligible recipients of the LQC National Quantum Fellowships are U.S. citizen graduate students or postdocs who either will research or are researching quantum computing at a U.S. academic institution. Applicants in physics, materials science, electrical engineering, or other disciplines relevant to QIS with a background from either within or outside QIS are encouraged. Applications will be evaluated on the strength of the research proposal, research impact, student academic achievements, and leadership potential.
