The article covers a workforce and education partnership, not a quantum research result. Brookhaven National Laboratory is using URI undergraduates as teaching assistants in its Quantum Information Science 101 course, and the piece is mostly anecdotal, with no concrete details on curriculum, enrollment, or outcomes. For readers tracking quantum talent pipelines, it is a small signal that national labs are recruiting early-career students into the field.
Energy Dept lab gains quantum teaching help from URI students
URI physics students, like Morgan Beck ’26, are providing valuable assistance at Brookhaven National Laboratory, supporting instruction in areas like Quantum Information Science 101.
A rapid transition from student to instructor exemplifies a growing partnership between the University of Rhode Island and Brookhaven National Laboratory. Morgan Beck ’26, a recent URI graduate from Exeter, Rhode Island, completed a six-week virtual Quantum Information Science 101 course at the U.S. Department of Energy facility in 2025, then returned the following year as a teaching assistant. “I loved this course so much, and I was very happy to go back to Brookhaven as a teaching assistant when they asked me,” Beck said,…
