Education

NRT: RCCQ is closely linked to Rice’s NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) in Cavity Quantum Electrodynamics (NRT-CQED), housed within the Applied Physics Program. The NRT offers Ph.D. students interdisciplinary training in quantum optics, quantum materials, and nanophotonics, with a focus on developing leadership in quantum research. RCCQ supports and enriches the NRT mission by providing a collaborative research ecosystem, mentorship, and opportunities to engage in cutting-edge projects.
