Center for Integrated Quantum Materials

October 1st, 2013 - September 30th, 2023 | PROJECT

The Center for Integrated Quantum Materials pursues research and education in quantum science and technology.   With our research and industry partners, the Museum of Science, Boston collaborates to produce public engagement resources, museum programs, special events and media.  We also provide professional development in professional science communication for the Center's students, post-docs, and interns; and coaching in public engagement.  The Museum also sponsors The Quantum Matters(TM) Science Communication Competition (www.mos.org/quantum-matters-competition) and NanoDays with a Quantum Leap.  In association with CIQM and IBM Q, the Museum hosted the first U.S. museum exhibit on quantum computing.
