2024 Quantum Industry Showcase
Quantum Foundry and Photonics Society hold the 2024 Quantum Industry Showcase at UCSB
The Quantum Industry Showcase aims to connect our industry partners to the graduate students and postdocs working in quantum materials and technologies, fostering networking, discussion, mentoring, and recruitment in service of the NSF Quantum Foundry's mission to develop a next-generation Quantum Workforce. The QIS event is a collaboration between the Quantum Foundry and the Photonics Society at UCSB, a student-led chapter of Optica, SPIE, and IEEE.
This year we welcomed 120 registered participants. Students enjoyed industry tours in our area and the event benefitted from industry sponsorships.
