Quantum Ecosystem Navigation

Help learners, universities, and employers navigate the quantum ecosystem from curiosity to contribution.

The live engine is the Career Navigator — profile, interest, and goal into a pathway board, role family, forecast, and enterprise meter. This page is the one-pager summary (university vs industry).

Launch the Career Navigator

  1. Step 1

    Start with interests

    Name the subject you already care about — medicine, finance, music, logistics, security — before you pick a quantum job title. The Career Navigator does this first; the eight-pathway quiz is the shorter complement.

  2. Step 2

    Learn, compose, code

    Build literacy with structured lessons, play with circuits in the browser, then write them in Qiskit. Classroom access lets a whole cohort touch real hardware without student credit cards.

  3. Step 3

    Choose a path

    University path (MS/PhD, faculty, research labs) or industry path (internships, partner companies, employment). Most working professionals in this month take the industry path and keep the university path as a later option.

  4. Step 4

    Projects, Advocate, research

    Contribution is the product: hackathons, Fall Fest, Summer School, GitHub, and the Qiskit Advocate program. Research projects sit here too — including the Portfolio Lab baseline work.

University path

  • MS / PhD in physics, CS, EE, or a domain + quantum minor
  • Faculty and teaching (Classroom hardware access)
  • Research labs and national-lab internships

Industry path

  • Internships and apprenticeships (including Quantum Ready pre-apprenticeship models)
  • Industry quantum partner companies
  • Employment in software, applications, security, or program roles
