COVID-19 Update

You should not come to campus if you have had any new and unusual symptoms of COVID-19 (not attributed to a previously known medical condition) in the last 24 hours. When on campus, masks are strongly recommended. Visitors are required to acquire masks for their daily use. A limited supply of masks is available at the institute for those who forget to bring a mask. 

If you test positive, follow the campus procedures described here. Note that visiting researchers should follow staff guidelines.

Visitors are responsible for acquiring COVID tests for their personal use. 

Participate

We are now accepting applications for Simons Quantum Postdoctoral Fellowships.

More information on how to participate in the life of the Institute.
