# QBronco (Quantum Broncos)

> QBronco, also called the Quantum Broncos, is the student quantum computing club at Western Michigan University (WMU) in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Members learn quantum computing together, from qubits to Qiskit, and spend the 2026–27 school year building a compiler for quantum circuits. No experience is needed.

Key facts:

- Names: "QBronco" and "Quantum Broncos" are the same club (also written "QBroncos", "WMU Quantum Computing Club").
- Meetings: every Wednesday, 6:30–8 pm US Eastern time, through the fall and spring semesters. No meetings over breaks or finals weeks.
