Quantum Computing Education in Latin America: Experiences and Strategies

Laura Tenjo Patiño, Cristian E. Bello, Alcides Montoya

Quantum computing is a rapidly advancing field with the potential to drive scientific, educational, and technological development. However, it faces a significant shortage of qualified experts, creating an urgent demand for skilled professionals. In Latin America, quantum education remains in its early stages, further widening the regional talent and access gap due to limited educational infrastructure and financial constraints. This work presents an initiative to integrate quantum computing into higher education in Latin America through the application of the European Competence Framework for Quantum Technologies, which offers a standardized approach to defining competency requirements and assessing essential skills in the field. We propose introductory courses aligned with the frameworks guidelines, designed to meet industry standards and reach a broad audience. Additionally, we introduce supplementary resources, including team dynamics and evaluation methodologies, to enhance the educational ecosystem. These initiatives aim to create a sustainable and comprehensive quantum education model across Latin America, to close the regional skills gap, foster inclusivity, and prepare a diverse workforce to contribute innovative solutions on the global stage.

Supply and Demand in the Training of Quantum Software Engineering Workforce

Álvaro M. Aparicio-Morales, Enrique Moguel, José Manuel García-Alonso +3 more

Quantum Technologies are experiencing significant growth due to substantial investments made by governments worldwide. These investments aim to enhance global competitiveness in this field and position countries as key players. However, facing the changes of this new paradigm requires an increment in the workforce with specialized expertise in Quantum Technologies, particularly in the area of Quantum Computing. In this paper, we present a concise overview of the current quantum computing education offers and an outline of the current job offer landscape. We highlight essential elements for individuals interested in building a career profile in quantum software engineering, including understanding the professional requirements that experts and companies have established. The main goal of this paper is to offer an overview of the current educational and professional landscape in the quantum software engineering field, empowering the next generation of software engineers to thrive in a quantum technology-driven future that will profoundly impact human lives.

Quantum Computing: Implications and Realities for the Managers of Tomorrow

Mohamed Didi, Fiorella Mendez Acevedo

Quantum computing is emerging as one of the most transformative technologies of the 21st century, with significant implications for business strategy, workforce development, education systems, and global economic competitiveness. This paper introduces the foundational principles of quantum computing, including superposition, entanglement, interference, and decoherence, and explains how these mechanisms enable quantum systems to outperform classical computers in solving complex problems. It further examines the potential applications of quantum computing across industries such as pharmaceuticals, finance, automotive engineering, artificial intelligence, and logistics, highlighting both opportunities for innovation and risks of disruption. Attention is given to anticipated labor market shifts, the growing need for quantum literacy in higher education and professional training, and the relationship between quantum technologies and artificial intelligence acceleration. The paper also explores broader societal and demographic implications, including the risk of widening technological inequality between developed and developing nations. Ultimately, the study argues that while quantum computing presents unprecedented opportunities for economic advancement and scientific discovery, proactive policy planning, educational adaptation, and international collaboration will be essential to ensure inclusive and sustainable adoption.
