Quotes from participants of past QIntern events
What is your opinion on the QIntern programme?
QIntern is a unique opportunity to perform research breaking the barrier of physical distance. It allows students and mentors all over the world to meet and work on a project of interest. In QIntern, I had the pleasure of working with some wonderful and bright students. I not only mentored them but learned from them. We solved a problem of interest, which we are expecting to be published. It helped me gain experience in mentoring, added research experience and publication on my resume.
Ritajit Majumdar (Mentor)
What did you like most about QIntern?
It was an amazing experience in QIntern2021 as that was my first Internship. Was exposed to some amazing projects and ideas. Very good support and guidance from mentors. What I liked most about the internship is the projects that were showcased which is very innovative.
Tamal Acharya (Intern)
How was QIntern beneficial for your experience/knowledge/career?
It helped me move forward with research on solving routing problems using quantum computing, initiate new research directions, conduct new experiments, build a research team, and prepare a quantum computing session at the Warsaw IT Days 2023 conference. Together with my team, we are still researching and working on publications (both scientific and popular science).
