A Tech Forward Education
Only Stevens had the right combination of a practical quantum mechanics program and a warm welcome. Professor Yuping Huang talked with me on the phone and invited me to visit the QuEST Lab in the physics department, and once I had done that, I knew I'd found my place at Stevens.

Quantum Engineering Graduate
The QuEST Lab has helped me significantly, and I'm so happy that I've been able to contribute my skillset to this team in a way I didn’t expect. After joining Yuping Huang's group, I was amazed to see how quantum mechanics can enhance systems and technology. It's really awesome, and reminds me of when I worked at the startup. We will do great things.
