Calcul Québec’s Summer Program in Quantum Computing Returns
Calcul Québec’s summer program in quantum computing is back, open to students from all fields. Selected participants will have free access to a quantum computer and a supercomputer, along with specialized training and mentorship throughout the summer of 2026.
For this second edition, project themes have been defined to target promising avenues in the field. Projects can range from a first exploration of quantum computing to more advanced approaches.
To be eligible, projects must be led by students enrolled at a Quebec university, submitted by May 8, 2026, and completed during the summer.
Projects must fall within one of the following three themes:
- Hybrid quantum algorithms
- Simulation of quantum systems on classical computing clusters
- Quantum software development tools
Eligibility and selection criteria:
- Be enrolled at a Quebec university
- Submit the project by May 8 and complete it by August 31, 2026
Available infrastructure:
- Classical computing clusters (GPU, CPU)
- MonarQ, a 24-qubit universal superconducting quantum computer
