Educating our population about the quantum world so they can actively participate in the next generation of innovation as we build a better tomorrow is essential. This effort is already underway locally, nationally, and globally; here the reader is introduced to quantum education and career pathways for students.
In my previous article, Quantum Theory with Current and Future Cybersecurity Applications, I mentioned that the US Federal Government passed the National Quantum Initiative1 and other countries have similar programs2,3,4. Due to the continuing global shortage of skilled technical workers in advanced science, the new quantum ecosystem is also in need of educated people.
