Clemson Quantum Club
Clemson Quantum Club is a student-led group at Clemson University that helps students learn and work with quantum computing at any level. Since the club started in 2024, members have competed in quantum hackathons around the country, attended conferences, tuned in to seminars, and presented posters and papers. Members can also join Clemson’s two quantum computing Creative Inquiry research teams. Any student is welcome at club meetings.
Each fall the club runs seminars and workshops on campus and hosts a student quantum hackathon, open to every skill level. The next one, SC Quantathon v4, is October 22–24, 2027. Teams spend a weekend working on challenges written by companies and national labs, learn new tools, and meet professionals from industry and research along the way.
