Quantum Computing in the Spanish Speaking World Conference
11-29-2020
South America
This past fall I received the opportunity to attend an online conference that discussed the history of quantum computing in some South American countries and the future of quantum computing in schools and universities. I was able to hear from leaders in the quantum computing world in Mexico and Argentina. The conference itself was also in Spanish so I had to pay attention to make sure that I understood the discussions. I learned that while there are a few resources in these countries to provide college students with a foundation in quantum computing, many students and professors emigrate to the United States in order to pursue higher levels of research. Attending this conference helped broaden my understanding of the world, by allowing me an opportunity to learn about similar and different resources found in countries concerning education and the rise in new technologies.
