Welcome to the National Quantum Literacy Network (NQLN)
Building a Skilled
Workforce for the Workforce
Second Quantum Revolution
The National Quantum Literacy Network
a nonprofit social enterprise based in the Washington, DC region, is committed to advancing quantum literacy education and workforce readiness. Representing a coalition of industry leaders, government agencies, academic institutions, and nonprofits, NQLN is at the forefront of addressing the nation’s quantum and artificial intelligence workforce needs. By engaging Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic-Serving Institutions (HSIs), Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), small businesses, veterans, and first-generation learners, NQLN works to ensure these transformative technologies are accessible to all.
Quantum AI: Transforming the Future
As quantum technologies converge with artificial intelligence (Quantum AI), they are driving revolutionary advancements in secure communications, machine learning, cryptography, and next-generation sensing systems. These technologies are not only reshaping industries but are also critical to national security and economic leadership. A skilled and inclusive workforce capable of navigating this complex landscape is vital to maintaining America’s global competitiveness.
A National Imperative
Quantum technologies are poised to redefine the global economy, disrupt traditional industries, and create entirely new markets. To maintain technological and economic leadership, the United States must invest in preparing a workforce capable of harnessing these capabilities. Quantum literacy is no longer optional—it is essential for national security, innovation, and economic resilience.
