In an article recently published in Nature Review Materials, Kayla Lee, PhD, the Academic Alliance and Partner Experience Lead at IBM Quantum, explains how faculty enablement strategies can improve diversity in quantum education. She highlights QuSTEAM as an organization that is 'getting it right'.

To diversify the field of quantum physics and increase student retention, we must focus on creating a learning environment where students feel a sense of belonging and develop what experts call a 'physics identity.' Feeling included, seen, valued, and respected in the physics community "can make all the difference in whether marginalized students feel able to persist and thrive.”

QuSTEAM has been featured in American Physical Society (APS Physics) News, referenced as an expert initiative trying to "fill the gaps" in quantum education.

QuSTEAM was featured in Photonics Media, describing the need for a quantum ready workforce and the challenges in creating. "Much of the workforce moving into quantum information science and technology employment is likely to come from computer science and engineering, electrical engineering, materials engineering, and other closely related fields. Yet, to date, industry-specific academic paths are still lacking." QuSTEAM's innovative approach to teaching the next generation of #quantum researchers across academic disciplines is one way to solve this issue.
