Faculty, Staff, Postdocs, and Grads,

I need to know if you are working outside the United States during this pandemic.

[If you regularly work out of the US you need not reply.]

Everything is fine, your status isn’t going to change but the UW wants to collect this data.

Please send me:

Your City
Your Country
What UW Systems you access remotely:  e.g. libraries?  Internal physics servers?  Canvas?  etc.

Please let me know by June 4.

Thanks,
Aimee

Good Afternoon MSPQC Students,
I hope that your summer is going well so far!  As we know that many of you are already looking forward to August and the employment prospects after graduating, we wanted to share a new and exciting resource that we have been busy preparing for you: the MSPQC Career Toolkit.  Check it out here! https://wp.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc/mspqc-toolkit/
This is a work in progress and I'd be open to any ideas or suggestions about how to make this most useful to you.  If there are resources or jobs that you come across, please feel free to share them as we will continue to update the website with items that are helpful to you.  If I can be of any assistance to you throughout the job search process, please do let me know and we can meet virtually to discuss in further detail.
Thank you,
Michelle

Dear CQE Members,

IBM is holding an upcoming set of Qiskit hackathons, the Qiskit Community Summer Jam, from June 24-July 1. Registration<https://www.hackerearth.com/challenges/hackathon/qiskit-community-summer-jam-mid-west/> for the hackathon opened today.

Hackathon participants will join teams that will use Qiskit to create a unique project. Teams can be pre-formed or connect on the hackathon portal. Teams can explore gaming, algorithms, teleportation, or dozens of other quantum projects. Much more information about the hackathon can be found here<https://www.hackerearth.com/challenges/hackathon/qiskit-community-summer-jam-mid-west/>.

If you know of any students or others who might be interested in participating in the hackathon, please feel free to forward this information.

Best wishes,
Kate Timmerman

Good Morning MSPQC Students,

I'm excited to share with you that the graduate student section of the Department of Physics website has a new updated look and feel.  We have added some new content and reorganized many things in hopes that they are more useful to you.  When you navigate to the physics homepage, you will see the tab called "GRADUATE".  https://wp.physics.wisc.edu/  From the GRADUATE menu on the homepage, the website is broken down by prospective students, Ph.D. current students, and MSPQC current students.  Please take a look around the new website and let me know if you have any questions, comments, or feedback.

As always, feel free to let me know if you have any questions along the way.  I hope that you are all enjoying the warm and humid weather this week, wherever you are!

Best,
Michelle

Hello,

Unfortunately, I cannot physically get my thank-you letter for the Dillinger family to the department office before the end of today (as instructed in a letter from last month notifying me about the Dillinger award for this year). For good measure, I want to still provide my thank-you letter as a PDF attached to this email, as I am not permitted to enter Chamberlin during the pandemic. Please let me know if there is any difficulty in opening the file or anything else needed on my end.

Thanks so much,
Michael

Hello,

I wanted to ask for your help with the delivery of my thank you letter to the Dillinger family for their departmental award. Since I am not on the list of employees permitted to enter Chamberlin Hall, I cannot get my letter to the department office by tomorrow. Please let me know what might be the best way to provide my letter promptly (e.g., if I should instead send my letter digitally).

Sincere thanks,
Michael Cervia
