Quantum Computing: Current Progress and Future Directions
Today's quantum computers provide the speed that researchers need to mimic all aspects of chemistry, allowing them to be significantly more predictive.
Qubit by Qubit's "Introduction to Quantum Computing"
Gaining access to any of the world's relatively few physical quantum computers is possible via the cloud. These computers include the 20+ IBM Quantum System One [https://research.ibm.com/interactive/system-one/] installations currently in the United States, Germany, and Japan, with more planned in the United States, South Korea, and Canada. Anyone with an internet connection can log in to a quantum computer and become educated on the fundamental of quantum programming. For example, IBM offers a variety of quantum-focused education programs including access to quantum computers, teaching support, summer schools, and hackathons.Footnote7 The IBM Quantum Educators [https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/programs/educators] and Researchers [https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/programs/researchers] programs and <anchor>Qubit by Qubit's "Introduction to Quantum Computing"</anchor> are just two examples of the quantum computing resources that are accessible to both educators and students.

## 2025  E  arly  Q  uantum  C  areer    I  mmersion: Training & Internship Program

#### Grades: University

EQCI is a first-of-its-kind program designed to bring together a
diverse cohort of undergraduate students interested in learning
about the field of quantum computing.

This introductory program will equip students with

foundational quantum computing skills, in addition to general
skills for an internship, including professionalism and
research skills.

Then students will be paired with a host organization to work on
a

real-world quantum computing project

.

Last summer, host organizations included IBM Quantum, Google AI,
bp, Unitary Fund, and Qunnect.

#### Early Quantum Career Immersion Program (2021 - present)

EQCI is a first-of-its-kind program designed to bring together
a diverse cohort of undergraduate students interested in
learning about the field of quantum computing.

#### Quantum Quest

During summer 2022, The Coding School's Qubit by Qubit
initiative and the University of Arizona's Office of Societal
Impact teamed up with Girl Scouts of Southern Arizona to offer
the world's first-ever,
free
, all-girls quantum computing camp: Quantum Quest. This
partnership is generously supported by the University of
Arizona researcher, Dr. Zhenshen Zhang, through the broadening
participation component of the National Science Foundation
award OIA-2134830. TCS is looking forward to summer 2023 for
another incredible year of developing female STEM leaders with
University of Arizona and the Girl Scouts!



#### Introduction to Quantum Computing for High School Students  (2020 - present)

2023-24 - Sponsored by Google Quantum AI

2021-23 - Sponsored by IBM Quantum

2020-2021 - Partnered with IBM Quantum and taught by MIT and
Oxford quantum researchers, Qubit by Qubit led the first ever
global quantum computing course for high school students and
above. In this year-long course, over 7,500 students from 125
countries learned skills in quantum mechanics, quantum
computation, quantum algorithms and even ran code on a real
quantum computer!



#### Diversity in Quantum Conference

Featuring 21 speakers across 7 panels, the QxQ Diversity in
Quantum Computing Conference is a one-day virtual event
dedicated to creating an inclusive, diverse, and equitable
