Quantum Education and Policy Summit

The Institute for Robust Quantum Simulation is partnering with Q-SEnSE: Quantum Systems through Entangled Science and Engineering and the Chicago Quantum Exchange, and the Quantum Economic Development Consortium to convene a national Quantum Education and Policy Summit as part of the International Year of Quantum. As quantum education and workforce development efforts ramp up to meet the demands of a growing quantum industry, it's crucial that educators attend to the growing need for a holistic workforce development strategy, one that meets the needs of quantum-conversant students as well as specialists.  

The Quantum Education and Policy Summit will platform educators and workforce development leaders, representing a wide variety of regions throughout the country as well as all levels of quantum specialization from R1s to community colleges, to articulate the unique needs and interests that drive quantum workforce development in different communities around the country. The Summit will generate a report describing the quantum education landscape, including recommendations on how the quantum workforce community can implement a broad, collaborative education effort.
