Training the Next Generation of Quantum Industry Workers at the Institute for Quantum Computing
The Institute for Quantum Computing (IQC) at the University of Waterloo is shaping the future of the quantum workforce. This program focuses on training students in vital areas such as quantum computing, detection, communication, and materials.
Students participate in internships that usually last four months. However, some students may extend their experiences. They work with partner organizations that can include non-profits, established companies, or startups led by faculty members.
Mitacs finances these internships, and partnering organizations contribute an amount equal to Mitacs’ investment. This collaborative funding model allows students to gain practical experience while addressing real-world challenges.
Interns apply their classroom knowledge to solve problems in the field. They witness firsthand how quantum science impacts technology development. This practical approach not only prepares students for future careers but also enriches the partner organizations with the latest research and innovations from IQC.
One of the standout facilities for this program is the Quantum Nano Fabrication and Characterization Facility (QNFCF). This state-of-the-art lab allows students to engage with cutting-edge technologies that are pivotal to quantum advancements.
By linking academic learning with industry needs, the IQC plays a crucial role in nurturing a skilled quantum workforce. The program ensures that students are well-equipped to contribute meaningfully to the evolving landscape of technology and quantum solutions.
