Alabama A&M University will host its first Southeastern Quantum Collaborative Workforce Development Workshop on Thursday, Nov. 12, bringing academic and industry experts to campus to explore a fast-growing field and the skills its workforce will need.
The free workshop runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the Arthur Bond Engineering Building auditorium, Room 233. Charlie Brock, CEO of the Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative, will deliver the keynote, followed by a panel of academic and industry experts on workforce readiness and research collaboration. Lunch will be provided.
AAMU became a founding member of the Southeastern Quantum Collaborative in December 2025, joining the University of Alabama in Huntsville and industry partners. Launched in January and housed in UAH’s College of Science, the initiative advances research and workforce training in quantum computing, sensing, communications and networking.
AAMU researchers have secured National Science Foundation support for quantum computing research, and faculty have worked with IBM to introduce engineering students to quantum computing.
The workshop is open to students, faculty, staff and anyone interested in quantum technology. Participants are encouraged to register.
