timeline
A collaborative workshop by QCI, the Physics Club, and the KU IEEE Student Chapter that connected classical encryption to quantum cryptography, introduced key algorithms, and closed with the quantum mechanics behind secure quantum communication.
A beginner-friendly workshop introducing KU students to the core ideas of quantum computing through simple quantum circuit examples and hands-on Python/Qiskit exercises.
A week-long hackathon for KU students that made team-based problem solving approachable through an opening-day quantum workshop, challenges in Quantum AI and BB84-based Quantum Cybersecurity, and final presentations on the closing day.
A two-day IEEE Open Silicon Initiative bootcamp where KU students explored modern IC design, VLSI workflows, open-source silicon tools, and reversible logic gate design for quantum computing applications through team-based hardware challenges, with participating teams preparing designs for Tiny Tapeout fabrication.
QCI hosted an interactive booth at AUS MedHack, introducing visitors to quantum computing through hands-on puzzles, a QCI quiz game, short introductory workshop sessions, and giveaway items.
A hybrid IBM Qiskit Fall Fest by QCI with sponsored challenge tracks across quantum computing applications. Teams start with an opening info session, build over a two-week hacking period with mentorship, workshops, and qualifiers, then close through finalist presentations or another competition format depending on the track.
