Taking the Quantum Leap
The skills and education we need to build a diverse quantum workforce
As industries look to solve problems beyond the limits of classical computers, quantum has emerged as the next frontier in high-performance computing. The need for a future-ready workforce with a robust set of quantum computing skills is driving efforts to provide quantum education, programs, tools, and curricula from early education through post graduate degrees. From early “coding camps” to undergraduate and graduate programs, we must find ways to reach a diverse student population to maintain and grow our nation’s leadership in innovation and technology.
The following are a list of helpful resources to learn more about quantum technologies:
