The Quantum Information Science Common Room
The Quantum Information Science (QIS) Common Room, which is located
within the Research Laboratory of Electronics (RLE) in Room 26-201,
is equipped with a reconfigurable conference table, swivel chairs,
easy chairs, a large whiteboard, and built-in projection equipment.
It provides an excellent venue for impromptu technical discussions and
QIS-related social events.
By providing an open and central gathering place, the QIS Common
Room seeks to nurture the sense of community among MIT's QIS
researchers, who are currently widely distributed around campus.
Toward this end, all MIT faculty, research staff, and especially
students who are involved in quantum information research are invited
to make use of this facility.

"There is widespread belief that fundamental ideas from QIS will lead to useful new information technology, and provide computing, communication, and control systems beyond the limits of traditional paradigms. These carry with them profound social implications. This is why iQuISE will incorporate education in ethics and social context."
—Jeffrey H. Shapiro, Co-Director, iQuISE, and Julius A. Stratton Professor of Electrical Engineering and Director, Research Laboratory of Electronics
