Interns are encouraged to apply. Applications will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis. The workshop aims to orient participants to the physical principles of using superconducting hardware for quantum computing, focusing on low-level calibration and physical controls. This free, in-person workshop will be held at the University of California Livermore Collaboration Center in Livermore, from Aug. 20-21, 2026. Previous quantum computing experience or coursework is not required, but participants should have some experience with computer programming as tutorials are done using Python. The workshop will feature research talks and tutorials by staff scientists at LLNL and SJSU professors, hands-on training in controlling quantum hardware and access to LLNL's innovative Quantum Design and Integration Testbed (QuDIT) testbed. Previous workshops have reached capacity ahead of the posted registration deadlines, so early registration is encouraged. Registration for U.S. citizens must be complete by July 20. Non-U.S. citizens are welcome to register; however, access for foreign nationals may be limited due to approval timelines and site access restrictions. Non-U.S. citizens should apply before July 8. More information about the workshop can be found on the workshop website.   July 1, 2026 CONTACT Ashley Piccone piccone1@llnl.gov (925) 789-1275 TAGS HPC, Simulation, and Data Science Careers Computing Physical and Life Sciences Academic Engagement Community Outreach Livermore Center for Quantum Science FEATURED ARTICLES Meet LLNL interns: advancing engineering, national security and artificial intelligence LLNL celebrates incoming and graduating machinist apprentices Big Ideas Lab podcast explores STARMOC: LLNL’s mission operations center Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory  | 7000 East Avenue • Livermore, CA 94550 | LLNL-WEB-458451 Operated by the Lawrence Livermore National Security, LLC for the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration Learn about the Department of Energy's Vulnerability Disclosure Program Home Disclaimer Privacy Notice
