Integrated Activities

The CIQC is, at its core, a deep integration of research, education, workforce development, outreach, coordination, and partnership activities.  A matrix of activities drives the CIQC toward its aims.  As shown below, many of these activities serve several roles simultaneously.  For example, the CIQC winter school is primarily an activity that contributes to our education and workforce development goals, focusing on graduate education.  But it also serves an outreach role, bringing new entrants from outside the CIQC into quantum information science; an internal research coordination role, by focusing the CIQC’s attention on a research topic of central interest; and external research coordination role, organizing research on a critical topic broadly across academic, industry and other research efforts.
