The Quantum Computing Users’ Group

Welcome to The Quantum Computing Users’ Group! We are a new and growing community --- over 50 email subscribers! --- of students, faculty and staff at Rensselaer and local alumni who gather virtually and in person to support each other’s use of the IBM Quantum One platform. Group members have the option of accessing the quantum computer via the FOCI cluster (https://idea.rpi.edu/IDEA_Cluster_Access). In monthly meetings we explore topics of interest, share our "feats of strength," and of course "air grievances!"
