Description
In this talk, we examine talent trends in the quantum workforce, defining what it means to be “quantum talent” and exploring the key skills and career pathways shaping this workforce. Quantum talent is a nuanced workforce, made up of roles like quantum engineers, software engineers, researchers, and physicists, requiring a deep understanding of theoretical physical concepts as well as practical competencies. The quantum workforce is a network of high-performing regional hubs, but it remains small in absolute scale and is constrained by limited talent supply. While global demand for quantum skills peaked in 2022, demand remains strong in the largest talent hubs: the United States, Germany, the United Kingdom, India, Canada, and France.
