There is a new ITUWebinar series focusing on various aspects of Quantum Information Technology (QIT). The first webinar covered "Cybersecurity in the Quantum era" (April 8) and was followed by episode 2 which was a "Joint Symposium on Quantum Transport Technology" (April 28). The next episode will run on May 26 and will focus on "QIT for Networks - Use cases". Registration for this webinar is still open (register here).

If you have missed the previous episodes you can still catch up on these interesting talks by following their recordings; all webinars will be made available through this landing page https://www.itu.int/en/ITU-T/webinars/Pages/qit.aspx.

The Quantum Flagship has now a new initiative - QTEdu

The pursuit of quantum technologies requires scientists and engineers that can offer all the competencies and skill sets a future quantum workforce will demand. The Quantum Flagship's QTEdu CSA (Quantum Technology Education Coordination and Support Action) offers just that: It is an effort to bring together professionals from quantum research and education as well as from the industry to launch networking meetings of the Quantum Technology Education Community.

The working groups of this initiative will focus on how to improve quantum education not only as part of initiatives in higher education, but already starting out for primary and secondary schools in an effort to prepare a quantum-ready workforce. Read more...

The European Quantum Industry Consortium (QuIC) was created to bring together quantum technology stakeholders and European quantum industry to facilitate the development of a European Quantum Technology Ecosystem that will ensure Europe's global competitiveness in this area.

The consortium sees as its most important tasks the coordination between all groups in an effort not only to identify applications and use cases but also to recognize potential gaps as far as enabling technologies, components and supply chains, standards and work force are concerned.

A QuIC Concept Paper, a QuIC Executive Summary and QuIC Work Package Descriptions are already available. Read more...
