Clemson Quantum Club
Clemson Quantum Club is a student-led club at Clemson University that helps students learn and work with quantum computing at any level. Members compete in hackathons, attend conferences, and tune into seminars. Anyone can drop into a meeting, with no application, no dues, and no prior quantum background.
SC Quantathon is South Carolina’s student quantum hackathon, founded by SC Quantum in 2024. Clemson teams have competed every year, and in 2026 Clemson Quantum Club hosts the third edition on campus. It is open to all skill levels and a great way to explore quantum computing, get familiar with ML and AI, learn new skills, and meet professionals.
