The CamachoLab attended the Center for Quantum Networks (CQN) 2024 Annual Retreat from March 20-23.

The CamachoLab at BYU has been working hard on Simphony, an open-source Python package that, in conjunction with SAX, helps in defining and simulating photonic circuits.

Julie Des Jardins is the director for Diversity of Inclusion at the Center for Quantum Networks, so naturally her curiosity was piqued when she heard about BYU's unique researchers. BYU is special among modern universities in the quantity of undergraduate researchers that it employs, and that is especially true for the CamachoLab which employs many more undergraduates, than it does graduate students. So on October 5 Julie came to BYU to see what we are all about. She got to meet the team and share just a little about what she does at the Center for Quantum Networks and she mentioned many opportunities that CQN has for university students, including the University of Arizona's Quantum Information master's program (more information about that here).
