AVS Quantum Science Workshop and Panel on Quantum Industry & Workforce Development (All-Invited Session)
Sunday, November 3, 2024
3:00 p.m.
Room 123
Industry around quantum materials and quantum information science is currently evolving rapidly with a focus on synthesis and device fabrication, algorithm and library development, and exploration of early applications of quantum computing, sensing, storage, and network, amongst others. In addition to technological and scientific advancement on a fundamental level, this requires rapid training of a particularly skilled workforce at the intersection of these fields. While this is true for many interdisciplinary fields, there is a risk that the gap that needs to be bridged is particularly large between the fundamental fields of quantum mechanics, math, computer science, and domain science. In this all-invited session, we will have speakers from academia, industry, national labs, and funding agencies to describe their perspective on the state of the art and to outline challenges. We envision the discussion of concrete strategies to address these challenges and brainstorming on what is most needed immediately to shape the near-term future of the workforce that will support the quantum industry. This Workshop will be followed by a number of QS mini-symposium sessions throughout the week.
AQS1: AVS Quantum Science (AQS) Workshop All-Invited Oral Session
Invited Speakers:
- Government: Tomasz Durakiewicz, National Science Foundation
- Non-Profit: Jonathan Felbinger, SRI / QED-C
- Quantum/Short Course Organizer: Tim Gessert, Gessert Consulting, LLC
- Industry: Josh Mutus, Rigetti Computing
- Academia: Chris Palmstrøm, University of California, Santa Barbara
- National Lab: Kathy-Anne Soderberg, Air Force Research Laboratory
This workshop will be followed by QS scientific sessions throughout the week.
ASTM E-42 and Applied Surface Science Division Joint Workshop
Tuesday, November 5, 2024
8:00 p.m.
Tampa Marriott Waterside – Grand C-D
Have you ever encountered baffling results when characterizing samples? If you work in a lab, you are probably nodding your head. While these intriguing findings are often shared informally with colleagues, they rarely make it into published research.
If this sounds familiar, join our panel discussion! We’ll delve into some perplexing results, explore the underlying physics, and invite you to share your own experiences. Afterward, we’ll continue the conversation in a relaxed setting (refreshments will be provided).
Our panel will have representation from industry, and national laboratories:
- Don Baer (Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, OR, US)
- John Grant (Surface Analysis Consultant, FL, US)
- (Moderator) Jeff Terry (Illinois Institute of Technology, IL, USA)
- Alex Shard (National Physical Laboratory, Teddington, UK)
