You don't have to have a PhD to be a part of #quantum research. A new analysis by the Chicago Quantum Exchange shows that two-thirds of industry sector jobs are open to those with a bachelor's degree or less: #quantumworkforce
What do a cake decorator, a jeweler, and a cannabis industry employee have in common? They all became part of the fast-growing — and often well-paid — #quantum tech industry. A new CQE analysis shows that two-thirds of all industry-sector quantum jobs are open to those with a bachelor’s degree or less, highlighting this under-recognized fact about the evolving quantum tech workforce: it isn’t just for PhD physicists anymore. This has important implications for communities, economies, and workers of all levels: over the next decade, quantum tech jobs are expected to grow exponentially. And increasingly, companies are looking for quick learners, transferable skills, and a penchant for problem-solving. “The wave is still rising, and that means you get to carve out your career, your path, your tremendous opportunities, and you don’t have to know Schrodinger’s equation," said Dana Anderson, chief technology officer and co-founder of Infleqtion. The new findings released today are the result of first-of-its-kind CQE analysis of job posting data from QED-C and Quantum Computing Report. Read on to explore the findings, learn why some companies leave “quantum” out of their job descriptions — and meet the cake decorator-turned-technician, along with a variety of other people of all backgrounds (including a few PhDs!) who are part of the #QuantumWorkforce. https://lnkd.in/dEWkDUhD #MidwestQuantum #QuantumPrairie
