Quantum Education Society: Shaping the Future of Quantum Education and Research
The Quantum Education Society (QES) is a dynamic and innovative student interest group within our postgraduate community. Based in the Tam Wing Fan Innovation Wing, it is dedicated to exploring the exciting realm of quantum education and research. Comprising passionate students and researchers, the society serves as a hub for collaboration, knowledge exchange, and hands-on exploration in the field of quantum physics. This dynamic group of students is contributing to exploring and promoting advancements in quantum education, and fostering a community of passionate learners and researchers in this cutting-edge field.A key focus of the QES is to provide new resources and opportunities for postgraduate students interested in quantum education. Through the QES, students can access funding opportunities, state-of-the-art facilities, and mentorship programmes to support their academic and research endeavours. These resources play a crucial role in nurturing the next generation of quantum scholars and innovators.

Led by a team of enthusiastic students working under the supervision of Dr Zhiqin Chu and Dr Ngai Wong from the Department of Electrical and Electronic Engineering, the QES has been actively engaged in organising workshops, seminars, and collaborative projects to enhance understanding and interest in quantum education among students and faculty members alike. Through these initiatives, the QES aims to create a platform for knowledge exchange, networking, and skill development in quantum education.
One of the key QES projects is the development of interactive learning modules and resources that make complex quantum concepts accessible and engaging for students at all levels. These resources are designed to spark curiosity, facilitate hands-on learning experiences, and inspire the next generation of quantum educators and researchers. In addition to academic pursuits, the QES also focuses on outreach activities to raise awareness about quantum education in the wider community.
By participating in science fairs, community events, and school visits, QES members are actively contributing to the popularisation of quantum education and its potential impact on society.
