The QOISC is an Orange County-based organization dedicated to the promotion of math, science, and engineering through the use of quantum optics education and related technologies and phenomena.

 

Our educational approach is hands-on, student-centered, and engaging.

 

We seek to foster the curious scientist, the artful mathematician, and the creative engineer in every student, regardless of age.

Founded by Donn Silberman in 2003, the OISC has a long history of education and outreach in Southern California.  We have and continue to collaborate closely with the Optical Society of Southern California, Vital Link, UC Irvine DCE Optics Programs, Pasadena City College's Laser Technology Program; and many more.  Look on our Photos page to see examples of our programs over the years.
