Mines is equipping students for quantum jobs with degrees built for industry, shaping the future of quantum science in Colorado and beyond.

Physics Assistant Professor Wouter Van De Pontseele explores the intersections of quantum computing and particle physics in underground labs built for ultra-sensitive research.

The Colorado Underground Research Institute transforms Edgar Mine into a hub for quantum research, advancing detectors, sensing and precision physics.

Libby Booton ’16 mentors students, paying it forward after a meeting with a fellow alum at NASA launched her aerospace career.

Peter Consalvi ’17 merges service and adventure, cycling and exploring the world across four continents in a journey of self-discovery.

Edgar Mine is home to hands-on experiences few universities offer with student-built labs and a one-of-a-kind learning environment.

Mines physicist Kyle Leach wins American Physical Society Fellow recognition while advancing neutrino research revealing new insights into the building blocks of the universe.

CURIE – short for Colorado Underground Research Institute – will allow researchers to test quantum sensors and more in a very low background environment.

An international research project, in which Colorado School of Mines is a leading institution, hopes to observe these particles from high in the Earth’s atmosphere to better understand where they come from and how they interact.

As Colorado emerges as a hub for quantum technology, one of the nation’s first quantum engineering programs – located right here at Mines – is preparing students for the challenges of working in the quantum industry in Colorado and beyond.
