- Abstract: Quantum information science and technology (QIST) has progressed
significantly in the last decade, such that it is no longer solely in the
domain of research labs, but is now beginning to be developed for, and applied
in, industrial applications and products. With the emergence of this new
quantum industry, a new workforce trained in QIST skills and knowledge is
needed. To help support education and training of this workforce, universities
and colleges require knowledge of the type of jobs available for their students
and what skills and degrees are most relevant for those new jobs. Additionally,
students need to know how to tailor their degrees to best align with the
current needs of the quantum industry. We report on the results from a survey
of 57 companies in the quantum industry, with the goal of elucidating the jobs,
skills, and degrees that are relevant for this new workforce. We find a range
of job opportunities from highly specific jobs, such as quantum algorithm
developer and error correction scientist, to broader jobs categories within the
business, software, and hardware sectors. These broader jobs require a range of
skills, most of which are not quantum related. Further, except for the highly
specific jobs, companies that responded to the survey are looking for a range
of degree levels to fill these new positions, from bachelors to masters to
PhDs. With this knowledge, students, instructors, and university administrators
can make informed decisions about how to address the challenge of increasing
the future quantum workforce.
