Despite federal investments since 2018 nearly doubling the number of students and faculty in quantum fields, training pipelines still cannot meet growing industry and government needs. Officials emphasized that quantum progress requires a broad workforce beyond just physicists, including engineers and technicians, and called for expanded training programs and industry partnerships as Congress considers reauthorizing the lapsed National Quantum Initiative. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
