Middle Tennessee State University EQUIS Program (funded by NSF) is dedicated to serving community college and undergraduate students who are enthusiastic about Quantum Information Sciences (QIS). Acknowledging the rising national demand for expertise and workforce development in QIS, this program offers two introductory courses specifically designed for novices in the field. Moreover, the program provides tuition-free courses for students interested in pursuing careers in QIS. Participants will receive an MTSU certificate upon completion of the course.
Fall 2024 - Course 1: Introduction to Quantum Computing for Everyone; Instructor: Dr. Hanna Terletska (MTSU)
Spring 2025 - Course 2: Quantum Computing Applications; Instructor: TBA

EQUIS Program Details:
The EQUIS program, titled "Beginnings: Creating and Sustaining a Diverse Community of Expertise in Quantum Information Science (EQUIS) Across the Southeastern United States", is an educational initiative funded by the NSF. The program's primary objective is to advance Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) education for the community college and undegraduate students from the partnering institutions, including Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU), the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga (UTC), Tennessee State University (TSU), Fisk University, and Auburn University. Quantum technology, grounded in QISE principles, promises revolutionary changes. To adequately prepare for this innovative field, it is imperative to enhance workforce education and broaden participation in QISE. Our focus extends to reaching out to first-generation college students, women, and historically underrepresented groups in STEM fields. By ensuring a diverse and well-prepared workforce, we pave the way for future QISE applications.
