Partner voices

There are so many different roles and opportunities within the realm of quantum. It’s not just building the quantum systems or understanding the physics behind these quantum systems and how to scale those. Over time, a ton of jobs are going to need to be created, and the workforce really needs to be catalyzed in order to take full advantage of quantum.
