Welcome to Harvard Quantum Initiative Blog! We are a group of graduate students committed to explaining the exciting research happening in the Harvard Quantum Initiative (HQI) and inviting people into the fun world of quantum science. 

In celebration of World Quantum Day (April 14, 2024) we invited you to submit a short video explaining a quantum science topic of your choosing. We were impressed by all the submissions from the global community of quantum and science communication enthusiasts of all ages!
