The Undergraduate Quantum Association (UQA) is a research and career-oriented student organization which provides a space for students to engage with and learn more about quantum science! UQA helps to connect the campus community to the frontiers of quantum through various events. We have…

  • Taken tours to local facilities like IonQ, a quantum computing company focused on software and hardware development
  • Invited speakers from quantum industries to discuss their work via a speaker series
  • Invited UMD faculty to discuss quantum research opportunities on campus
  • Collaborated with hackathon organizations to create a quantum computing track

Our community consists of physics, computer science, and other majors who are eager to explore quantum science. Regardless of major, everyone is welcome at UQA!

We have weekly general body meetings on Wednesdays at 6PM in Room 2124 John S. Toll Building.
