The QuICS Lanczos Graduate Fellowship is awarded to exceptional candidates who are beginning graduate study at the University of Maryland, to enable them to pursue research on a wide range of topics at the intersection of quantum information and computer science, advised by QuICS faculty. Recipients of the Lanczos Fellowship have strong technical skills and experience, and excellent potential to perform scientific research. The fellowship provides financial support for their first two years of graduate study, giving them considerable flexibility to develop their research interests and find a faculty advisor at QuICS.

Candidates who are interested in being considered for the Lanczos Fellowship should apply for graduate study at the University of Maryland in Computer SciencePhysics, or Applied Mathematics & Statistics, and Scientific Computation (AMSC), and indicate quantum information as an area of interest. Other financial support may also be available. Candidates from underrepresented groups are especially encouraged to apply.

After finishing their PhDs, past recipients of the Lanczos Fellowship have gone on to do postdoctoral research at other leading institutions such as Los Alamos and Sandia National Labs, MIT, and Harvard.

The Lanczos Fellowship is named after Cornelius Lanczos, who made fundamental discoveries in physics and computation, including numerical methods for solving eigenvalue problems, at the National Bureau of Standards, the predecessor of NIST. The Lanczos Fellowship contributes to the research and education mission of QuICS, by attracting some of the top talent worldwide, to advance the frontiers of quantum information and computer science.
