IBM HBCU Quantum Center

We are incredibly proud of our talented students from the IBM HBCU Quantum Center who recently attended the National Society of Black Physicists - National Society of Hispanic Physicists 2024 Conference in Houston, Texas! This year, our students not only showcased their remarkable research through oral presentations and poster sessions, but they also took the opportunity to connect with leading professionals in the field and expand their networks. ??? A huge congratulations to everyone involved in making this experience memorable and impactful. Here, we are excited to make a continued pipeline to Quantum for our IBM HBCU Quantum Center Students! #HBCU #QuantumScience #NationalSocietyOfBlackPhysicists Morehouse College Coppin State University #NationalSocietyOfHispanicPhysicists MORGAN STATE UNIVERSITY Dept. of Advanced Studies, Leadership and Policy #Innovation #FutureLeaders #DiversityInSTEM #Networking #QuantumResearch #STEMEducation #QuantumPhysics #ProudSupporter #HBCUExcellence #STEMLeadership #SouthernUniversity #JacksonStateUniversity #HBCU

IBM HBCU Quantum Center Student Highlight of the week is Cornelius Bra’Jion Salonis. My name is Cornelius Bra’Jion Salonis, and I am a senior at Alabama Agricultural and Mechanical University, pursuing a bachelor’s degree in #Physics. As an IBM HBCU Quantum Center Scholar, this experience has profoundly shaped my academic and professional trajectory, particularly in #Quantum Information Science and Quantum Materials. The IBM HBCU Quantum Center not only deepened my scientific knowledge but aligned my academic pursuits with my evolving career goals, allowing me to merge my aspirations with the broader mission of advancing quantum science. As a Black physicist at an #HBCU, I have firsthand experience with the challenges and stigmas surrounding physics in minority communities. Through the IBM HBCU Quantum Center, I discovered the transformative potential of quantum science and the importance of diverse representation in the field. Engaging with scholars like Jada Emodogo, Johan Lingani, and Robert Coleman Jr., and participating in conferences, summer schools, and career fairs, I have refined my ambitions and contributed to my community by showcasing the wonders of physics". #quantum #quantumScience #HBCU #BlackExcellence #IBMHBCUSCHOLAR

Happy New Month, Everyone! September marks the four-year anniversary of the IBM HBCU Quantum Center and our ongoing mission to create a pipeline of success for students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. We are dedicated to preparing students for careers in quantum research. This September also ushers in the beginning of the IBM HBCU Quantum Center's Women in Quantum Series, which will be held in person at Spelman College. We are excited to highlight Dr. Kayla Lee, PhD Lee who on September 26, 2024, will be a featured speaker at the up-coming Women in Quantum series panel discussion. Dr. Lee earned her B.S. in Cellular and Molecular Biology from Hampton University before pursuing her master's and Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University. Currently, she leads strategic alliances at IBM Quantum and is the co-founder of the IBM HBCU Quantum Center. Dr. Lee is a remarkable example of a woman in quantum who not only thrives but also creates an ecosystem of excellence through #HBCUs.
