For Learners…
If you are a student or anyone interested in learning quantum science, QuSTEAM offers multiple ways to get involved.
The QuSTEAM Initiative has built the first four courses, with four more courses designed to implement a flexible six-course QISE Minor. The curriculum is intentionally structured to support student success through a range of evidence-based teaching practices. Our curriculum design and development process emphasize effective learning strategies that foster engagement, confidence, and a strong sense of community. We’ve integrated approaches that promote achievement and self-efficacy for all students.
In addition to these courses, QuSTEAM offers learners campus-to-industry connections and pathways in a three-pronged approach: involve industry in curriculum development, prepare students for mid-degree industry research, and enhance industry job placement.
Internship Opportunities
-
If QuSTEAM curriculum is available at your institution, you will have access to you a curriculum composed of modules that are easily customized, embedded in local curricula, or implemented with hybrid instruction or collaboratively between institutions. The QuSTEAM Initiative has already built the first four courses, with 6 courses designed for the QISE Minor.
Our curriculum, the tools to program and experiment on real quantum computing resources, and instructional widgets are all built in. Modules begin with no coding experience and progress with explicit dependencies and background knowledge so you can customize concept development through the QuSTEAM courses. Students use Python to compare execution across a variety of quantum computers, and the campus does not have to spend set up or instructional time setting up student environments. They're ready to go.

We are developing campus-to-industry connections and pathways in a three-pronged approach: involve industry in curriculum development, prepare students for mid-degree industry research, and enhance industry job placement.
Regular online events offer another opportunity to build community and improve together as QIS instructors. Students will be able to connect with industry, institutions, and other members and will have the opportunity to network and learn about job opportunities.

All students can learn quantum information science and be successful in quantum industry.
Our nation needs quantum-aware professionals across all disciplines and across all types of institutions and degree programs. QuSTEAM nurtures industry connections with various campuses and students and prioritizes improving access to QISE education. Evidence-based instructional strategies— such as active learning, flipped instruction, opportunities for culturally relevant pedagogy, and strong alignment of goals, learning activities, and assessments— are embedded in the curriculum and professional development.

Level: Undergraduate, graduate
Description: The company, located in Novi, Michigan, develops novel products and services that enable researchers to make single-photon measurements with unmatched sensitivity, speed, and precision. It’s Opus One™ multi-channel near-infrared photon detector system operates with greater than 80 percent detection efficiency. Interns are desired to improve the company’s low-loss, high-speed photon detectors, superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors, and custom engineering solutions for nanowire response, mid-infrared photon counting, custom cryogenic systems, and integration with waveguides and photonic chips, which will enable next-generation experiments in quantum optics, optical quantum computation, single-photon communication, low-flux biophotonics, and remote sensing.
How to apply: Send a resume and cover letter to info@quantumopus.com, explaining why they are interested in working with Quantum Opus, their areas of interest, and their unique expertise.
