Books, videos, research groups, job boards, and funding to help you grow as a quantum engineer at Mines.
Available in the Quantum Theory Lab library (CoorsTek 230). Books can be read in the lab but cannot be checked out.
The best way to learn quantum hardware is hands-on: through coursework (like Low-Temperature Microwave Measurements and the Silicon-Based Microprocessing Laboratory in the QE hardware track), research with a Mines lab, or an internship. If you don't have access to those yet, these resources will help you build your understanding of hardware before you get your hands on real devices.

Research is one of the best ways to get hands-on quantum experience. These Mines faculty lead groups working on quantum theory, devices, materials, and sensing. Read about their work, then reach out to ask about openings.
Programs that members of the Mines QE community have done. Reach out to the listed contact with questions.
An overview of the quantum academic programs at Mines to help you decide which one is right for you. Full requirements are in the Mines course catalog and at quantum.mines.edu.
Graduate programs offer a Quantum Engineering Hardware track and a Quantum Engineering Software track.
SQE helps distribute club and department funds to support quantum engineering students attending conferences. Depending on available funding, grants of up to $500 may be awarded.
Applications open at the beginning of each semester to support conferences that semester. Tell us about the conference you plan to attend and how it supports your professional development. We only accept applications during the application window.
