Undergraduate Experience

Our Summer Cohort internship program will bring together 4 undergraduate students with backgrounds in STEM, business, art, and communications who share an interest in quantum science. Each intern will spend time working in and learning about all aspects of a technology company. As a member of the internship cohort, you will also work collaboratively with each other on a project that will mirror the start-up experience. 

This program is designed to provide an immersive hands-on experience in the world of technology start-ups. You will gain experience in quantum technology and the role of collaboration in development. You will leave with an awareness of how a start up company functions along with a broader understanding of potential career paths within quantum.

We are looking for thoughtful, creative people who work hard, recognize the value of teamwork and collaboration, and are open to new experiences. 
The only requirement is an interest in quantum science.
