Quantum Computing Creative Inquiry
The Hands-on Quantum Computing Creative Inquiry is an undergraduate research course led by Dr. Rong Ge. Students gain practical experience with quantum computing platforms, participate in quantum hackathons, and work collaboratively on quantum algorithms and computational problem-solving. The program welcomes students from all majors and has produced teams that have competed at MIT iQuHACK, the NYUAD International Hackathon, and the SC Quantathon series.
Quantum Faculty at Clemson
Several Clemson professors conduct research and teach courses in quantum computing, quantum information, and quantum physics.
Research focuses on quantum optimization for resilient systems, with applications in disaster relief, logistics, and supply chain resilience using stochastic, discrete, and quantum optimization methods.
Eugene Douglas Mays Chair of Transportation and founding director of the USDOT Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility. His quantum work targets cybersecurity for transportation and smart-city / IoT infrastructure — integrating AI with quantum computing to detect and respond to cyber threats, including the SC Quantum Sentinel initiative. Named a 2024 Clemson University Researcher of the Year.
An American Physical Society Fellow whose research focuses on topological quantum computation, Majorana fermions, superconductivity, and condensed matter theory. His work on semiconductor–superconductor heterostructures is one of the most widely studied platforms for fault-tolerant quantum computing.
