AI 中文摘要
量子行业从业的职业准备常被围绕正规教育路径、劳动力需求预测及各岗位所需的知识与技能展开,而量子行业从业者自身如何描述其从业准备的相关研究较少。本文分析了不同职位和公司类型的量子行业从业者访谈,以探究进入量子行业的经历。通过主题分析,确定了四类轨迹:(1)从学术界到工业界的研究实践延续;(2)将既有专业知识重新适配量子应用;(3)通过各类职业机会逐步参与;(4)依托人脉进入。这些轨迹常在个人经历中同时出现,表明从业准备源于教育、职业与关系经历的结合。研究显示,支持量子行业职业准备仅设计正规课程和学位项目是不够的,需重视能让学生应用知识技能、建立专业人脉以助力进入量子行业的实践学习机会。
英文摘要
Career preparation for participation in the quantum industry is often framed in terms of formal educational pipelines, workforce projections, and knowledge and skills needed for various roles. Less is known about how quantum industry professionals themselves characterize their preparation for participation in the field. In this paper, we analyze interviews with quantum industry professionals working across a range of positions and company types to examine the experiences that enable entry into the quantum industry. Using thematic analysis, we identify four trajectories: (1) continuity of research practice from academia to industry, (2) reframing of prior expertise for quantum applications, (3) incremental engagement through various professional opportunities, and (4) network-enabled entry. These trajectories often co-occur within individual narratives, showing that preparation emerges from a combination of educational, professional, and relational experiences. Our findings demonstrate that supporting preparation for quantum industry careers requires more than the design of formal coursework and degree programs. Our results highlight the importance of experiential learning opportunities that allow students to apply their knowledge and skills and develop professional connections that facilitate entry into quantum careers.
