- The Learning Series will introduce quantum
technologies, applications, and resources that can be incorporated
into research, courses and curricula
- Clemson University will be the first
university to integrate the Faculty & Research Learning Series,
providing free sessions to faculty and researchers
IonQ (NYSE: IONQ), a leader in the quantum
computing industry, today announced the launch of its new Faculty
& Researcher Learning Series in partnership with South Carolina
Quantum (SCQ). The Learning Series is the first event following the
March agreement between IonQ and SCQ to accelerate the introduction
of quantum technologies in academia and business across South
Carolina. Learning Series’ members can partner with SCQ to gain
access to IonQ’s quantum systems as they familiarize themselves
with the technology and begin exploring research opportunities and
designing coursework around quantum computing.
“The State of South Carolina is taking meaningful strides in
training its quantum workforce of the future, and we are pleased to
bring IonQ’s leading edge quantum computing expertise to these
initial Learning Sessions,” said Peter Chapman, President and CEO
of IonQ. “The coursework and curriculum developed as a result will
prove invaluable for other universities worldwide as they ramp up
their quantum programs and turn to SCQ and Clemson University for
guidance. We look forward to having IonQ become the trusted quantum
hardware platform for these institutions.”
In 2023, the State of South Carolina set aside millions in
funding for SCQ to accelerate workforce development, economic
development, and applied research in quantum computing. One
component of this venture was the creation of quantum-specific
academic coursework for training future members of the quantum
economy. The Learning Series is designed to support faculty and
researchers who have an interest in quantum computing by providing
them with free, expert-led training covering topics like:
- Quantum 101 and best practices for incorporating quantum
computing into coursework and research;
- industry insights on quantum applications;
- technical presentations and demonstrations; and
- guidance on accessing quantum resources and funding
opportunities.
“We are very excited to kick-off our Faculty Learning Series
with Clemson University as their reputation for preparing and
leading students to success is unmatched,” said Joe Queenan,
Executive Director, South Carolina Quantum. “IonQ brings a wealth
of experience and expertise to this initiative and will set the
conditions for faculty to understand the importance of bringing
quantum into the classroom and creating a learning environment that
sparks innovation and creativity for University students. This
collaboration with IonQ and Clemson is the first step to a pathway
for education in developing a quantum-smart workforce, inspiring
entrepreneurship that will help attract, and settle, quantum talent
and technology to South Carolina.”
Clemson University will host the first Learning Session on June
11, 2024. The workshop, titled, “An Introduction to Quantum
Computing and Applications,” will provide Clemson faculty and
researchers with an orientation on quantum technology. Scientists
from IonQ will lead the session and expand faculty members’
knowledge about accessing quantum resources, developing
applications, and integrating quantum computing into academic
coursework.
“We are excited to host SCQ’s inaugural Faculty & Researcher
Learning Series,” said Dan Noneaker, Associate Dean for Research in
the College of Engineering, Computing and Applied Sciences at
Clemson University. “Quantum computing will have a transformative
effect on research, industry, and the world. Partnering with South
Carolina Quantum and IonQ will help our faculty and researchers
learn about this emerging technology and ensure Clemson University
and the State of South Carolina are at the cutting edge.”
