Innovative educational approaches are required to acquire fundamental and applied knowledge about quantum mechanics. This valuable knowledge will improve upon the current state of quantum technologies and provide opportunities to explore exciting new directions for future application of quantum system properties.
The Quantum Collaborative identifies, seeds and enhances collaboration among a wide variety of disciplines, including scientific fields (electrical engineering, physics, materials, computer science, data science, etc.) and humanistic studies (library sciences, social media, policy, societal impacts and many other areas that may not traditionally be associated with quantum technologies).
Capitalizing on our connections with leading universities, state-of-the-art industry and flagship national laboratories, the Quantum Collaborative is uniquely positioned to educate learners of all levels, a requirement for a successful societal segue to our future reliance on quantum technologies.
