Oxford University Quantum Information
Society

From qubits to quantum networks, we explore how information behaves at the most fundamental level.

Who We Are

OUQIS is Oxford's student-led society for quantum information science. We bring together undergrads, postgrads, and researchers from across the university who are curious about quantum topics. We host weekly talks from leading quantum scientists, covering everything from quantum computing and quantum cryptography to the fundamental ideas behind quantum mechanics and information.

Whether you're exploring quantum mechanics for the first time or publishing in the field, OUQIS provides the platform to learn, connect, and shape the quantum future.

01 · Research

Cutting-edge research, up close

OUQIS sits at the frontier of quantum information, from quantum error correction and photonic networks to the cryptography built to outlast a quantum computer. Once a week, we bring that frontier into a lecture theatre.

You don't just hear the results. You follow the reasoning, the dead ends, and the questions the field still can't answer, straight from the people working on them.

02 · Community

A society without a single department

Quantum information doesn't belong to physics, or computer science, or maths, or engineering. It lives in the overlap, so OUQIS is built from all of them at once.

Undergraduates sit beside postgraduates and researchers. The person next to you might be proving a theorem, wiring a cryostat, or seeing a qubit for the very first time.

03 · Speakers

World-class voices, every week

We host principal investigators and research leaders from Oxford, Cambridge, TUM, UCL and beyond. They're the names behind the results you read about.

Each talk is a signal from the edge of the field: what's just been discovered, what's about to be, and where quantum information is heading next.

Watch a law of physics break, with data you make

Bell proved that any classical, local universe caps a certain correlation at S = 2. Every point in the panel below is a measurement generated live in your browser. Watch S climb straight past 2 and settle at 2√2 ≈ 2.828, the fingerprint of real entanglement that's impossible to fake classically.

Quantum information isn't a subject you finish.
It's a conversation you join.
