REMINDER: Summer 2024 Enrollment Begins on April 1
by ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE 27 Mar '24

27 Mar '24

Hello MSPQC Students: I hope you are enjoying your spring break! I am emailing a friendly reminder that Summer 2024 enrollment begins on April 1 and Fall 2024 enrollment begins on April 8, 2024. It is a good idea to meet with your faculty advisor or myself if you have questions about which courses to enroll in during the upcoming summer and fall semesters. If you plan to enroll in PHYS 799: Independent study/research (or for internship credit), it is important that you complete the attached research approval form with a signature from the faculty member who is overseeing your research experience. Once I have this completed and signed form, I can enter your permission to enroll in that professor's specific section of PHYS 799 for the appropriate semester. If you plan to take PHYS 799 as internship credit, please just send me an email or meet with me to discuss this process. As always, please reach out with any questions. Kind Regards, Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed.

REMINDER: Apply for Student Awards/Scholarships by FRIDAY, MARCH 15, 2024
by ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE 11 Mar '24

11 Mar '24

Dear MSPQC Students: Every year the department offers a variety of awards and scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students. These awards are made possible primarily by former students who have given back in remembrance of their time at Wisconsin. We hope that someday, you too will consider supporting future students in this way. We are now soliciting applications from students for these awards for this year, the 2023-24 academic year. To apply for awards, you must use WiSH - Wisconsin Scholarship Hub - in your student center: https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://wisc.academicworks.com/users/sign_in__;…<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/wisc.academicworks.com/users/sign_in__;!…> . The list of the physics department's awards, their descriptions, and eligibility requirements can be found at http://www.physics.wisc.edu/awards, but you don't need to decide which to apply for: you will automatically be matched with all awards for which you are eligible campus-wide - not just in Physics! The deadline to submit an application is March 15, 2024. We don't ask for much: * statement of purpose (~1 page) * CV/resume * support letter from a faculty/staff/mentor (~0.50-1 page). All Best, Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed. Graduate Program Manager Master of Science in Physics-Quantum Computing Program<https://www.physics.wisc.edu/graduate/mspqc-prospective-students/> Department of Physics University of Wisconsin-Madison Elizabeth.baldridge(a)wisc.edu<mailto:Elizabeth.baldridge@wisc.edu> (608)263-2235 Need to meet with me?

Summer Course Update: PHYS 707, Quantum Computing Lab
by ELIZABETH M BALDRIDGE 01 Mar '24

01 Mar '24

Dear MSPQC Students: If you are planning to take PHYS 707, Quantum Computing Lab (4) in summer, you will want to note this course will run May 28 ,2024 - August 8, 2024. The program has been working to further develop the lab course to best meet the needs and goals of MSPQC students, and based on feedback from those who have completed the course, we believe extending the lab beyond 8 weeks will positively impact student learning and the overall MSPQC student experience. Please reach out to me directly if you have any questions about taking this course in summer (or fall) and/or if you think this change may affect your personal academic plan. Have a wonderful weekend! Elizabeth Hart-Baldridge, M.S. Ed.
