We stand on the brink of a quantum revolution, poised to redefine numerous aspects of our daily lives with unprecedented technological advances. Recognizing the profound impact this shift will entail, we assert the necessity for widespread quantum literacy. At QC2, we are committed to raising awareness about quantum technologies within the local (and global) community through a series of engaging and accessible outreach initiatives. Our aim is not only to introduce quantum computing and other quantum technologies but also to foster an environment of curiosity, inclusivity, and lifelong learning.
Community
Given the anticipated profound impact of quantum computing on our society, it is imperative that individuals from all sectors gain at least a foundational understanding of this pivotal technology to prepare for the changes and opportunities it will introduce.
We will regularly organize awareness campaigns, seminars, webinars, and training sessions for the public to introduce quantum computing and other quantum technologies. We will also diligently curate educational material tailored to simplify the learning journey, making it accessible to everyone regardless of their knowledge and expertise.
Stakeholders
Our primary aim with this initiative is to catalyze our country's development and progress by addressing its most critical challenges through the innovative potential of quantum technologies. Success in this endeavor requires a synergistic collaboration with key stakeholders across various sectors, ensuring a deep understanding of their unique challenges and needs.
To achieve this, we will organize focused sessions for major stakeholders to raise awareness about the potential of quantum computing, showcase our research, and demonstrate how quantum technologies can be harnessed to address significant challenges within their respective sectors.
Students
The timeline for quantum technologies to dominate the technology landscape remains uncertain, yet the impending talent shortage is inevitable. Therefore, actively involving and engaging young students is central to our outreach efforts.
We plan to launch several programs aimed at high school and undergraduate students, including summer schools, hackathons, and workshops. Additionally, we are eager to support those interested in pursuing careers in quantum computing beyond their schooling.
