About Quantum Research at the Simons Institute
The Simons Institute offers a variety of Quantum related programming from the ongoing Quantum Pod to semester long focused Quantum programs and clusters. We host Quantum related workshops, lectures, and activities such as the recurring Quantum Colloquium series and Quantum Industry Day. Much of this is made possible thanks to funding from the Quantum Pod and its grantors.
