“Scaling a well-prepared quantum workforce is critical to our nation’s quantum leadership — and Purdue’s new quantum degrees program is a vital addition to this effort. By providing students with a clear, comprehensive pathway into quantum science and engineering, Purdue is not only expanding the talent pipeline but also ensuring that the Quantum Prairie remains the premier destination for quantum innovation. This kind of dedicated educational infrastructure — coupled with Purdue's deep collaborative ties to our other member institutions like Argonne and Fermilab — is how we continue to build a fully integrated discovery-to-deployment ecosystem with the talent and resources to help our sector scale.”

“As one of the top engineering universities in the country, with pioneering quantum research pursued within its College of Science, Purdue is exceptionally well positioned to expand its emphasis on quantum technology through its new degree and certificate programs. Purdue understands that the nation’s workforce needs extend well beyond quantum information science alone to a broader range of quantum-relevant disciplines, including electrical, mechanical, materials, and aerospace engineering. I admire Purdue’s foresight and am confident that the students it trains will help shape the future of the rapidly growing quantum industry.”

“Talent is the biggest bottleneck for the rapid development of quantum technologies today. Workforce development to drive quantum technologies requires universities to develop new degree programs to train students in quantum-specific subjects that are needed in industry. Microsoft Quantum applauds Purdue's launch of a comprehensive degrees program in quantum. We have hired Purdue graduates at Microsoft Quantum who make critical contributions on a daily basis. Training a quantum workforce at scale is exactly what the quantum industry needs to thrive. Purdue's comprehensive quantum degrees program is an important step in this direction.”
