AMO/QI Seminars

The Atomic Molecular and Optical physics (AMO) and Quantum Information (QI) seminar series at UC Berkeley aims to cover both scientific fields (AMO and QI) quite broadly, covering topics in physics, chemistry, engineering, mathematics and other disciplines with relevance to the field. Similarly, this seminar series is intended to serve not only the AMO and QIS communities in the UC Berkeley Physics Department, but also others in our department, in other departments of the University, and our colleagues at the nearby Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. Their presence at and input...

Quantum Gatherings

When: Fridays 3:30 -5:00 pm Where: Campbell 131

The CIQC’s weekly Quantum Gatherings are an opportunity for CIQC members to build connections and spark discussions between different fields of research. The gathering is held every Friday at 3:30 pm in Campbell 131, starting with a 20 minute Spark Talk on quantum-related topics, and then followed by food and beverages on the patio.

Note: During Summer 2024, Quantum Gatherings will occur every other Friday.

To get email reminders for the Quantum Gatherings, join our...

04/19/24 Quantum Day

Quantum Day is intended to give high school physics students a glimpse into quantum physics and how the physics concepts they are studying in their classes relates to the research CIQC PIs and grad students conduct. The program's main purpose is to get high schoolers interested in physics. Our pilot program was with local high schools Mt. Diablo and Bayhill High School.

We aim to support and inspire URM students within this demographic who typically thrive with personal attention and new career ideas when offered job ideas that may traditionally not be prominent in their community...
