The emergence of quantum technologies has led to groundbreaking advancements in computing, sensing, secure communications, and simulation of advanced materials with practical applications in every industry sector. The rapid advancement of the quantum technologies ecosystem has made it imperative to assess the maturity of these technologies and their imminent acceleration towards commercial viability. The current status of quantum technologies is presented and the need for a quantum‐ready ecosystem is emphasised. Standard Quantum Technology Readiness Levels (QTRLs) are formulated and innovative models and tools are defined to evaluate the readiness of specific quantum technology. In addition to QTRLs, Quantum Commercial Readiness Levels (QCRLs) is introduced to provide a robust framework for evaluating the commercial viability and market readiness of quantum technologies. Furthermore, relevant indicators concerning key stakeholders, including government, industry, and academia are discussed and ethics and protocols implications are described, to deepen the understanding of the readiness for quantum technology and to support the development of a robust and effective quantum ecosystem.

Virtual Lab by Quantum Flytrap is a no-code online laboratory of an optical table, presenting quantum phenomena interactively and intuitively. It supports a real-time simulation of up to three entangled photons. Users can place typical optical elements (such as beam splitters, polarizers, Faraday rotators, and detectors) with a drag-and-drop graphical interface. Virtual Lab operates in two modes. The sandbox mode allows users to compose arbitrary setups. Quantum Game serves as an introduction to Virtual Lab features, approachable for users with no prior exposure to quantum mechanics. We introduce visual representation of entangled states and entanglement measures. It includes interactive visualizations of the ket notation and a heatmap-like visualization of quantum operators. These quantum visualizations can be applied to any discrete quantum system, including quantum circuits with qubits and spin chains. These tools are available as open-source TypeScript packages -Quantum Tensors and BraKetVue. Virtual Lab makes it possible to explore the nature of quantum physics (state evolution, entanglement, and measurement), to simulate quantum computing (e.g., the Deutsch-Jozsa algorithm), to use quantum cryptography (e.g., the Ekert protocol), to explore counterintuitive quantum phenomena (e.g., quantum teleportation and the Bell inequality violation), and to recreate historical experiments (e.g., the Michelson-Morley interferometer).

“…This is typically available via generalist catalogues (Coursera, EdX, Udacity) which deliver some courses in electronics, electrical, and systems engineering with photonics applications. An increasing number of suppliers are filling the gap for photonics online learning to provide training to lower the barrier for entry to specialized areas, such as quantum photonics education [8] or photonics integrated circuits design and testing [9,10,11]. These package providers, however, do not yet address a number of sub-system level optical components, such as light sources, imaging, and detectors.…”

Electronic learning, or e-learning, is a vital educational format for the upskilling of the workforce, with promises to sustain accessibility to training in spite of travel restrictions brought by the Covid-19 pandemic. In addition, specialized online photonics courses are becoming increasingly available on the market, responding to needs of business employees to access on-demand technical teaching material to maintain competitive business advantages. It is in this context that Excelitas Technologies Inc. and the International Society for Optics and Photonics, SPIE, formed a partnership to deploy a platform to upskill scientists, engineers and project managers. Since June 2021, 60 employees across seven Excelitas sites worldwide have gained access to a library of technical courses offered by SPIE. The paper will present a case study into the instructional design, implementation strategies, and evaluation methods for this program. An evaluation framework based on the Kirkpatrick model is used to provide qualitative data to assess the quality of the learning delivery, the performance of the learners, and benefits to the organization. Preliminary evaluation results based on the analysis of pre-training and post-training surveys will be presented, along with lessons learned in organizational and learning development.
