as-pa.jpgMentions of quantum technology may bring to mind images of a certain insect-like superhero, but research in the emerging field happens everyday at the University of New Mexico, and undergraduates from around the state are invited to get in on the action.

Applications are open for the third annual QU-REACH program, a 10-week summer undergraduate research program run by the Center for High Tech Materials (CHTM), academic departments at UNM, the Center for Quantum Information and Control (CQuIC) and Quantum New Mexico (QNM). The program focuses on three research areas: quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum sensing.

The program is set to take place from May 30 to Aug. 4 and participants will receive a $6,000 stipend. A limited number of housing stipends are also available for students located outside the Albuquerque metro area. Students studying STEM at any college or university in New Mexico are invited to apply. Applications are due Friday, March 17.
