“…In terms of coverage, the quantum control course includes some of the materials proposed in Modules 8, 9 and 10 in [14] that cover topics on Hamiltonians and time evolution, dynamics with time-varying Hamiltonians and open quantum systems, respectively, but presented at a general level rather than delving into the details of specific physical settings. Beyond this, it includes optimal open-loop and feedback control of quantum systems.…”

“…Along with a general education, application-specific areas of quantum, such as devices, algorithms, software, and protocols, would be taught depending on the student's targeted career path. In depth discussions related to the development of quantum engineering programs can be found in [83], [85], [86].…”

Quantum information processing holds great promise for pushing beyond the current frontiers in computing. Specifically, quantum computation promises to accelerate the solving of certain problems, and there are many opportunities for innovation based on applications in chemistry, engineering, and finance. To harness the full potential of quantum computing, however, we must not only place emphasis on manufacturing better qubits, advancing our algorithms, and developing quantum software. To scale devices to the fault tolerant regime, we must refine device-level quantum control.On May 17-18, 2021, the Chicago Quantum Exchange (CQE) partnered with IBM Quantum and Super.tech to host the Pulselevel Quantum Control Workshop. At the workshop, representatives from academia, national labs, and industry addressed the importance of fine-tuning quantum processing at the physical layer. The purpose of this report is to summarize the topics of this meeting for the quantum community at large.

“…It is the golden era for newly trained engineers -expert across both traditional engineering offerings and quantum technology. Within this background, the demand for quantum engineering degrees is now palpable and several authoritative papers on the subject of how universities can best plan for the new undergraduate quantum engineering degree have recently appeared in the literature [28], [29], [30], [31].…”

Quantum technology is exploding. Computing, communication, and sensing are just a few areas likely to see breakthroughs in the next few years. Worldwide, national governments, industries, and universities are moving to create a new class of workforce -the Quantum Engineers. Demand for such engineers is predicted to be in the tens of thousands within a five-year timescale. However, how best to train this next generation of engineers is far from obvious. Quantum mechanics -long a pillar of traditional physics undergraduate degrees -must now be merged with traditional engineering offerings. This paper discusses the history, development, and first year of operation of the world's first undergraduate degree in quantum engineering. The main purpose of the paper is to inform the wider debate, now being held by many institutions worldwide, on how best to formally educate the Quantum Engineer.
