Secrets to Working in Quantum
How do we orient and inspire people interested in driving the development of quantum information science? By focusing broadly on how this technology will evolve and the range of skills needed to support it. From a learner’s perspective, this represents a range of career opportunities that is growing and changing. Christopher Bishop has developed a workshop to provide perspective on how the quantum workforce is evolving and guidance on the myriad options for people interested in contributing.
