Internships

CQN believes that hands-on experience outside the academic laboratory is an important part of graduate student education. In our first full year of operation, CQN graduate students worked at internships in the following organizations:

  • ASML
  • Authentic8
  • NASA
  • Psi Quantum
  • Qubitekk
  • Sandia National Laboratories

Below, you can read about some of our graduate and undergraduate students currently exploring internship opportunities.
