Quantum computing is revolutionizing industries, but developing a skilled workforce remains a challenge. The National Academy of Sciences emphasizes the need for increased funding and support for research and education initiatives in quantum technology. To address this, organizations like IBM and Google are investing heavily in education and workforce development programs. Job prospects are increasing rapidly, with a growth rate of over 100% in the past year. However, global governance of quantum technology is crucial to mitigate risks such as breaking encryption algorithms. International cooperation is necessary to establish standards and guidelines for the development and deployment of quantum technologies, including quantum-resistant cryptography and regulation of exports.
