Quantum Leap Career Nexus
Details about the 2025 Quantum Leap Career Nexus are coming soon!
The Quantum Leap Career Nexus (QLCN) is a premier, global networking, recruitment, and mentorship workshop for careers in the quantum industry. We bring quantum organizations together to meet with undergraduate and graduate students, postdocs, and early career professionals.
The growth of quantum information science and technology has created demand for a workforce to serve industry, government, and academia. Our driving principles will be to promote a diverse workforce, engage future leaders across disciplinary boundaries, and bring together local, regional, national, and global organizations for meaningful workforce development interactions to accelerate the quantum enterprise.
This workshop is supported by the Institute of Robust Quantum Simulation (RQS), a five-year National Science Foundation (NSF) grant.
