论文摘要
量子传感，量子网络和通信以及量子计算最近引起了极大的关注，因为这些量子技术比现有技术具有显着优势。为了加速这些量子技术的商业化，劳动力必须配备必要的技能。通过对量子行业的定性研究，在2019年秋季对21家美国公司进行的一系列访谈中，我们描述了量子行业中正在进行的活动类型，介绍了存在的工作类型，并描述了量子行业以及每种工作中价值的技能。当前通往量子行业的路线已详细介绍了高等教育在培训量子劳动力中的作用。最后，我们提出了量子业面临的培训和招聘挑战，以及高等教育如何优化目前发挥的重要作用。
Quantum sensing, quantum networking and communication, and quantum computing have attracted significant attention recently, as these quantum technologies offer significant advantages over existing technologies. In order to accelerate the commercialization of these quantum technologies the workforce must be equipped with the necessary skills. Through a qualitative study of the quantum industry, in a series of interviews with 21 U.S. companies carried out in Fall 2019, we describe the types of activities being carried out in the quantum industry, profile the types of jobs that exist, and describe the skills valued across the quantum industry, as well as in each type of job. The current routes into the quantum industry are detailed, providing a picture of the current role of higher education in training the quantum workforce. Finally, we present the training and hiring challenges the quantum industry is facing and how higher education may optimize the important role it is currently playing.
