Seed Grants and Other Collaborations
An RQS grant-writing workshop
Seed Grants
RQS offers seed funding to support projects that advance the research and education mission of the Institute and the careers of its junior researchers. Funding will be available for the one-year period of performance. Seed grants must include at least one RQS team member. Email rqs-seed@umiacs.umd.edu for more information.
Collaborative Travel Funding
We offer RQS students and postdocs on-going travel funding in support of collaborations across RQS universities and teams. RQS students and postdocs can apply for this funding at any time.
Quantum Simulation Conference (QSim)
QSim is an international annual conference on quantum simulation that aims to bridge theory and experiment, bringing together physicists, engineers, chemists, material scientists, mathematicians, and computer scientists working at the forefront of quantum simulation and related problems that include applications, algorithms, verification, noise, scaling, etc. for both analog and digital approaches. This conference stimulates interactions across disciplines and unveils new connections between seemingly disparate aspects of physics.
Annual Workshop
The institute workshop brings together the RQS leadership and team of faculty, postdocs, students, and staff to share our research, education and outreach, and other accomplishments; identify new areas of collaboration; strategically plan for upcoming activities; and identify new areas of collaboration across RQS universities, industry, and government.
RQS Research Seminars
The monthly RQS research seminars feature speakers from a variety of academic, government, and industry research groups. RQS research is highlighted by students and postdocs to share the latest advancements and create opportunities to form new collaborations. All seminars are presented in a hybrid format and can be viewed by RQS team members and members of the wider quantum simulation community.
