• Authors: Simon Goorney, Borja Munoz, Jacob Sherson,
• Abstract summary: We investigate a growing trend in the worldwide Quantum Technology (QT) education landscape, that of the development of masters programs. Through a global survey, we identified 86 masters programs, with substantial growth since 2021. We identify a range of national efforts to grow the quantum workforce of many countries, quantum program enhancements, which augment the content of existing study programs with quantum content.

• Abstract: In this article, we investigate a growing trend in the worldwide Quantum Technology (QT) education landscape, that of the development of masters programs, intended to provide graduates with the knowledge and skills to take a job in the quantum industry, while serving a much shorter timeline than a doctoral degree. Through a global survey, we identified 86 masters programs, with substantial growth since 2021. Over time masters have become increasingly interdisciplinary, organised by multiple faculties or through joint degree programs, and offer more hands-on experiences such as internships in companies. Information from program organisers and websites suggests that the intended career destinations of their graduates are a diverse range of industries, and therefore masters programs may be a boon to the industrialisation of quantum technologies. Finally, we identify a range of national efforts to grow the quantum workforce of many countries, quantum program enhancements, which augment the content of existing study programs with quantum content. This may further contribute to the growth and viability of masters programs as a route to the quantum industry.

  We introduce the Quantum Program Scheduling Problem (QPSP) to improve the utility efficiency of quantum resources. Specifically, a quantum program scheduling method concerning the circuit width, number of measurement shots, and submission time of quantum programs is proposed to reduce the execution latency.

We make use of ansatz based on quantum convolutional neural networks and numerically show that it is capable of recognizing quantum phases of ground states. The observation of non-trivial learning properties demonstrated in these benchmarks will motivate further exploration of the quantum-data learning architecture in high-energy physics.
