About

At QCB we aim to support students on their journey towards the Quantum Computing frontier. We're an undergraduate run club bridging the gap between students, the quantum industry, and academia. We focus on enriching and engaging the UC Berkeley community through subgroups, seminars, conferences, research projects, guest speakers, lab tours, company visits, and the occasional Decal.

Our goal is to help you learn what quantum is about and get interested students involved with quantum labs on campus, while providing research opportunities and educational materials to foster an advanced, accessible quantum computing network.

Membership

Membership is reserved for Berkeley students of all grade levels, majors, and colleges. However, if you are not a Cal student we still encourage you to participate! Get involved by contributing to our Educational branch. Submit a tutorial, article, or other home-made resource to support our efforts of building a quantum computing educational center.

As a community within UC Berkeley, we are dedicated to helping all students regardless of background or identity. As such, we recognize that there are marginalized minorities amongst the STEM population. We would like to provide opportunities and help students from underrepresented groups get a footing in Quantum. If this is you, please reach out! We're happy to support you wherever we can.

Hey! I'm a third year physics and CS undergrad who loves both the hardware and theory aspect of quantum computing, and I'm currently doing research in experimental AMO. I was part of QCB's student-led research group focusing on quantum simulation. In my free time, I enjoy going on long walks and bouldering. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or email me at jennychen42(at)berkeley.edu, or you can usually find me in the physics building!

Co-President
Physics & CS

I am a fourth year undergraduate student in Physics and Math. I am currently interested in quantum computing with a focus in neutral atoms, and have a strong interest in many-body problems and cavity QED. This semester, I'll be teaching the Hardware subgroup. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or nathansong(at)berkeley.edu!

Hey! I'm Yajur, a sophomore studying physics and pure mathematics, and I have a passion for learning cool things. Quantum computing is pretty cool, and so is particle physics. This year, I will be leading the theory subgroup, focusing on Quantum Error Mitigation. Other than that, I love playing the guitar, especially heavy metal, and feel free to connect with me via LinkedIn or email yajur.preetham(at)berkeley.edu!

Hi! I'm Prisha, a third year studying CS and Physics (maybe), and I'm the External lead at QCB this year and have an innate interest in watching and becoming part of the progression of quantum computing into industry. You can probably catch me hiking in the Berkeley fire trails or at Cafenated on college. Feel free to reach out to me via LinkedIn or email me at prishasingh(at)berkeley.edu.

Hi there! My name is Lakshya Nagal, and I am a third-year computer science & physics student, and will be the Treasurer for QCB this semester. In addition to handling the club's finances, I will be supporting the different subgroups, and look forward to some enthralling events/conferences this semester! I like (re)watching a lot of movies, a couple favorites include Rounders, The Fugitive, and Aliens. Feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn!

Hi, I'm Jay, a sophomore studying EECS and Business. I am currently researching cavity QED systems, and I also have experience in the business side of quantum technologies. I want to help everyone get introduced to quantum and be excited about its potential in diverse fields. Feel free to email me at jonimbalkar(at)berkeley.edu if you have any questions about the club, how you can get involved in quantum, or any movie recommendations.
