QS3 will support round-trip travel and attendance costs for graduate students and postdocs. This includes reimbursement for travel including economy airfare, dormitory room, and meals.

The QS3 School is part of NSF’s “Quantum Leap”. The 2020 edition will focus on “Modern Synthesis of Quantum Materials”, providing an excellent education and fun opportunity to graduate students and postdocs in the fields of condensed matter physics, materials science, and disciplines of quantum science in engineering, chemistry, and related fields. It includes key current topics of interest in quantum science and their applications to new technologies in academic and industrial contexts. The goal is to provide interactive and convergent training to participants by top experts in the field in an intensive two-week format. The school is sponsored jointly by NSF, DOE, and AFOSR, and managed by Joe Checkelsky (MIT), Natalia Drichko (JHU), Liang Fu (MIT), Kyle Shen (Cornell), Andrea Young (UCSB), and Jun Zhu (PSU). Limited number of openings is available – please let your students and postdocs know.
