• Abstract summary: Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) education programs have greatly expanded in recent years. This manuscript not only addresses policy makers and funding agencies (both public and private) but also contains needs identified by industry leaders. We report on the status of eighteen post-secondary education programs in QISE and provide guidance for building new programs.

• Abstract: Interest in building dedicated Quantum Information Science and Engineering (QISE) education programs has greatly expanded in recent years. These programs are inherently convergent, complex, often resource intensive and likely require collaboration with a broad variety of stakeholders. In order to address this combination of challenges, we have captured ideas from many members in the community. This manuscript not only addresses policy makers and funding agencies (both public and private and from the regional to the international level) but also contains needs identified by industry leaders and discusses the difficulties inherent in creating an inclusive QISE curriculum. We report on the status of eighteen post-secondary education programs in QISE and provide guidance for building new programs. Lastly, we encourage the development of a comprehensive strategic plan for quantum education and workforce development as a means to make the most of the ongoing substantial investments being made in QISE.

  We argue that many of these issues share a common core: a lack of awareness of the factors, context, and implications of the social environment in which NLP operates. We argue that substantial challenges remain for NLP to develop social awareness and that we are just at the beginning of a new era for the field.

  This paper presents the findings of a literature review on the integration of edge intelligence (EI) and socialized learning (SL) SL is a learning paradigm predicated on social principles and behaviors, aimed at amplifying the collaborative capacity and collective intelligence of agents. We elaborate on three integrated components: socialized architecture, socialized training, and socialized inference, analyzing their strengths and weaknesses.

• Disparities in access to US quantum information education [0.0]
  Quantum information science (QIS) coursework and degree programs are rapidly spreading across US institutions. Yet access to quantum workforce education is unequally distributed, disproportionately benefiting students at private research-focused institutions. We use regression analysis to analyze the distribution of QIS coursework across 456 institutions of higher learning as of fall 2022.

  We identify content items common across a large fraction of introductory QISE courses that are potentially amenable to research-based curriculum development. As a further guide for curriculum development, we also examine differences in content coverage by level (undergraduate/graduate) and discipline. Finally, we briefly discuss the implications of our findings for the development of a research-based QISE assessment at the postsecondary level.
