Quantum at Engineering Open House

Engineering Open House is the nation's largest student-run STEM fair organized entirely by students in the Grainger College of Engineering at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It's a celebration of innovation and how Grainger Engineering students are at the forefront of new technologies. With exhibits led by students and faculty, roughly 30,000 people attend each year from the community. 

This year, IQUIST has several demos across EOH between April 4 and 5 at Loomis Laboratory, 1110 West Green Street in Urbana. From hands on activities on quantum levitation and superconductivity to the first Public Quantum Network and possibly saving the world with quantum (if you're fast enough), there's plenty for you to get entangled in this year. 

Our Exhibits

LabEscape
The situation is dire as a deadly asteroid hurtles towards earth and a complete extinction event. Only a cool head, quick wits and quantum technology can save us -- the fate and security of the entire world are in your hands. You’ll have to search the lab, solve mind-blowing puzzles to reveal clues, and hopefully find a way to complete your mission! Reservations required.

Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks (Friday Only)
The NSF QLCI Hybrid Quantum Architectures and Networks will tackle the challenge of scaling quantum processors by pursuing an alternative paradigm: distributed quantum processing and networks composed of a hybrid architecture.

Quantum Levitation and Wave Lab
Quantum Physics is all around us- you just have to know where to look! Come explore hands on activities on quantum levitation, superconductivity, and waves brought to you by the Illinois Quantum Information Science and Technology Center.
