| Abstract Title: |
Incorporating quantum information science into the undergraduate curriculum |
| Abstract: |
Quantum information science and technology (QIST) is expected to have a substantial impact on the economy. To fulfill that promise, we need a quantum capable workforce that is conversant with the core aspects of quantum technologies and is large enough to meet the anticipated demand. Although the majority of recent QIST job postings require graduate level degrees, workers with bachelor's level degrees meet the requirements for roughly one third of posted positions. Furthermore, as the industry matures and its focus transitions from predominantly research and development towards deployment, the need for bachelor's level employees will grow. Thus, there is an increasing need for bachelors educated workers with knowledge, skills, and experience relating to QIST. In this talk I will discuss many challenges associated with incorporating QIST into undergraduate curricula, strategies and approaches to overcoming some of these challenges, and finally introduce some resources that can be adapted for use in existing courses to help introduce these concepts. |
