This project aims to democratize quantum education by deploying affordable, NMR-based tabletop devices in schools starting fall 2026, directly addressing current hardware accessibility barriers. By enabling hands-on engagement with core principles like superposition and qubit control outside elite research labs, the initiative seeks to broaden participation in quantum science globally.

Hands-on quantum learning coming to schools with new EPFL project

Quantum ZeitgeistSeptember 18, 20265 min read

EPFL students are building “Schiiq”, low-cost devices to expand hands-on quantum education to schools in Switzerland and lower-income countries by fall 2026.

Image: EPFL · actu.epfl.ch Students at École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) are launching “Schiiq,” a project to build affordable, open-source quantum computers for use, beginning in fall 2026. The initiative, a collaboration with Fachhochschule Nordwestschweiz and the QSE Center, directly addresses the limited access to quantum computing hardware, focusing on hands-on experience with core principles like superposition and qubit control. “Quantum computing still only remains accessible to the most well-funded research labs and institutions,” explains Andrés Quesnel González, QSE master’s student and president of the Schiiq team,…
