The text below the line was our original thoughts about establishing a Quantum California Consortium. However, not much was done except for talking about this concept, until the State of California passed Assembly Bill-940 Economic development: industry strategies. into law recently.
Now I have been invited to attend the Quantum California Convening | Gather, being organized by California Governor’s Office of Business and Economic Development (GO-Biz) - High Tech
​
We believe this will help potential collaborators in California to establish a Quantum Ecosystem here. We will see where this leads. Please contact Donn directly if you have any questions.
note: the literal bottom line of AB-940 is: (3) The office shall develop the industry strategy for quantum technology with engagement from key stakeholders in the regions that have identified quantum technology as a priority.

Quantum California is a new consortium being established under the QOISC banner to bring together many California based quantum companies, colleges, universities, and government agencies to promote all things quantum in California and beyond.
​
What can Quantum California do for its partners?
​​
-
Collect and publish regularly the future meetings, seminars, workshops, events, etc. of each of the partners. Become the ‘connective tissue’ of the California Quantum Ecosystem.
-
Establish, hold and maintain statewide meetings, seminars, workshops, events for the benefit of the partners and other interested parties.
-
Develop an educational pipeline from Q-12 through Community Colleges to Universities and Industry.
-
Develop pathways for Apprenticeships, Internships and Mentorships.
-
Initiate a physical Quantum Network to connect the partners so they can research the various technologies and educate people about the progress.
