Being quantum-ready means #economicmobility. Education is the foundation. - Education forms the foundation of any #workforcedevelopment program. Collaboration among South Carolina's universities, technical colleges, and K-12 institutions to develop and implement quantum curricula and training programs will ensure all South Carolinians are "quantum-ready" to achieve their personal goals and secure their economic future. Students, faculty, and professionals who engage with and integrate the Next Generation Science Standards (#NGSS) will advance to higher-paying jobs, launch their own businesses, and transform industries as we know them. - Wanna Quantum?™ are the first two words of any new quantum conversation. Each week, SCQ shares a perspective on how quantum is coming to life through talent and technology here in South Carolina. - SC Quantum is a convening force, bringing together our brightest minds with dynamic technology to address significant challenges. Quantum-powered partnerships position South Carolina and the Southeast as leading centers for healthcare, finance, manufacturing, cybersecurity, education, and other pioneering fields. While hardware and software are important, we prioritize ‘peopleware.’ Unprecedented collaboration in South Carolina will drive technical discoveries that transform our economy for the better.

SCQ champions the bold advancement of quantum talent and technology in South Carolina.
About us
South Carolina Quantum (SCQ) began as a non-profit organization started in 2022 in Columbia, South Carolina as the South Carolina Quantum Association promoting collaboration among academia, entrepreneurs, industry, and government to propel the advancement of Quantum technology in the south. After a $15 million dollar grant from the state of South Carolina in 2023, the SCQ quickly grew interest from other forward-thinking partners in South Carolina and others in the region and establish what is now the South Carolina Quantum. Our goal is to accelerate the future of Quantum ecosystem in the Carolinas built upon three pillars: Education, Entrepreneurship, and Engagement. Through these focused activities SCQ creates a collaborative network to advance a learning environment for Quantum Information Sciences, professional workforce development across all industries, and entrepreneurship for all.

SC Quantum is helping lead the global quantum push. In June 2024, the United Nations General Assembly officially declared 2025 The International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (#IYQ25) to help raise public awareness of the importance and impact of quantum science and its applications on all aspects of life. SC Quantum is proud to serve on the international steering committee for IYQ25 events—the global quantum landscape includes South Carolina. What a time! - #quantum #quantumphysics #quantummechanics #quantumcomputing #quantumsensing #quantumentanglement #quantumworld #quantummemes #southcarolina #technology #wannaquantum #iyq25

Thanks for the feature and ongoing partnership and collaboration Cyberwoven!
It's hard to believe that it has been one month since the launch of Cyberwoven's podcast, The Source. And the love we have received since then has not gone unnoticed. So, before we jump into sharing the news about our latest episode, the team wanted to send a quick word of, "Thanks!" for joining us on this exciting new journey. Now, before we get started, we have one quick question for you: "Wanna Quantum?" We sure hope so! In our latest episode, the team dives deep into the world of quantum technology with our friends Erica Smith, Bill Clinton, and Dave Alsobrooks from SC Quantum. In this episode, we work through what quantum technology is, explore its real-world applications, and how this technology is already shaping industries and creating jobs across South Carolina. 🎧 Episode three is live and ready for you to enjoy here: https://lnkd.in/eVVG-Exx #Cyberwoven #TheSourcePodcast #Marketing #Design #Innovation #Branding #WebDev #WebDesign #Brand #Web #MarketingDigital #firmnews #economicdevelopment #SouthCarolina

Quantum awareness creates generational opportunity. - The growth of a robust quantum industry is kindled by awareness of economic opportunities and support for quantum use cases shared across industry, academia, and entrepreneurship. Quantum literacy programs serve as a crucial link in preparing state and local talent to meet these quantum opportunities. Together, these elements power a shared, transformative impact. SC Quantum currently brings together quantum-forward student projects and faculty learning at our universities. We recently organized the first quantum hackathon built for the Southeast region. We're building a robust quantum ecosystem with real-world applications, but we need visionaries, builders, and a quantum-ready workforce to inspire, develop, and establish quantum talent and technology in South Carolina. Together, we can advance learning, foster economic growth, and enhance professional workforce development in emerging quantum industries across our state and region.

This time last week, SC Quantum was fresh off convening #quantathonv1 at the Sonoco Pavilion at University of South Carolina Darla Moore School of Business. Teams from across the #southeast were convened along with industry and technology partners to find solutions to real-world problems using #quantumcomputing. It was a blast! We’re cutting a mini-doc(!) to capture everything, but here's a quick reel from our IG account. We had a blast and can't wait to share the mini-doc we're working on, more pics of the event including challenge winners, and, of course... to program the next Quantathon! - #quantum #quantumphysics #quantummechanics #quantumsensing #quantumentanglement #quantumworld #quantummemes #southcarolina #technology #wannaquantum #qthonv1 - qBraid + United Community + Richland County Economic Development Office + Accelarise + BlueCross BlueShield of South Carolina + DoraHacks + IonQ + Xanadu + New York University Abu Dhabi + Unitary Fund + Amazon Web Services (AWS) + QuEra Computing Inc.
