Recommendations by a quantum HR expert
Quantum computing – Where to start? [EN]

Since moving to the quantum computing industry, I’ve been through some of the most challenging yet rewarding experiences in my career to date. The transition from recruiting in the data science space to quantum computing was not an easy decision to make but certainly the right one. To begin with, the industry has been incredibly welcoming and refreshing! People were so open in speaking with me and sharing their experiences. Any given day for the first 3 months I was meeting between 12-15 people (via zoom) so they could kindly navigate me through the quantum computing landscape and their expertise.

If you are thinking about starting in quantum computing yourself, I recommend you check out those three links:

 

The quantum computing elevator pitch

Want to know the basics? This is a very interesting perspective from a VC in quantum computing. A summary of the key aspects of QC in an “elevator pitch” without any math or physics, intended to help pique your interest in digging in and learning more. There are more and more specialized Venture capitalists popping up all around the world. Carving a way to support quantum businesses. The amount of investment has been eye-watering!

15 Things Everyone Should Know About Quantum Computing

This gives you great insight to how quantum computing technologies can have an impact on real world applications. It’s also a reminder that quantum computers are not built to replace classical computers but to solve different problems!
