"Yale has great potential to be the first institution to establish a comprehensive university-wide research and education program in Quantum Science, Engineering and Materials that will advance the frontiers of knowledge and train the next-generation workforce for this burgeoning field."
-University Science Strategy Committee (University Science Strategy Committee, 2018, p. 36).

Yale undergraduate Quantum Computing group
The Yale undergraduate Quantum Computing (YuQC) group is an academic organization formed to promote and facilitate the participation of undergraduates in quantum information science at Yale. Founded by Shantanu Jha in fall 2020, YuQC is committed to beginners and experts alike, working to create a community for all quantum-enthusiasts from a variety of disciplines. Throughout the semester, there are an invited speaker-series, social events, study groups, and open-source projects. The current advisors are Steven Girvin and Florian Carle of Yale Quantum Institute.
Working with the Stanford Quantum Computing Association, the group created the Quantum Coalition, an international network of university clubs dedicated to quantum information science. Through the Quantum Coalition, a QC Hack was hosted as well as an annual quantum computing hackathon. In spring 2021, over ten industry leaders, including Google Quantum and IBM Quantum, sponsored the inaugural QC Hack. Over 2,100 participants from 80 countries participated, submitting over 200 quantum computing projects.(Kalfus, 2022)

“We have a sense there’s a great, untapped power here. Often we are focusing on the building of a quantum computer … but in addition to just making computing faster and letting us store more information, there are other applications that could be really impactful in people’s lives: Better ways of sensing minute signals, better ways of transmitting information, better ways of securing people’s privacy.”
-Robert Schoelkopf, Director of Yale Quantum Institute and Sterling Professor of Applied Physics and of Physics (Shelton, 2015a).
