IBM Research | Building an equitable quantum computing future @ibmresearch | Uploaded February 2022 | Updated October 2024, 4 days ago.
Quantum computing is a burgeoning field of study that has the potential to revolutionize the way we solve problems. To ensure that those defining the future of this new, but fast-moving industry reflect what our society actually looks like, we need to foster a community today. In 2017, Black students made up just 3% of all students awarded bachelor’s degrees in physics in the United States, and only 2% of all physics PhDs. HBCUs are a key source of Black talent, especially in STEM, and it’s why we’ve worked to create the IBM-HBCU Quantum Center program. In this seminar, we’ll hear from Dr. Kayla Lee, the Academic Alliance Lead at IBM Quantum, about what how we can work to build a quantum future that includes those who have historically been excluded from science and technology.
