A great example of quantum workforce development in action. 👏 Through QuantrolOx's two-week program, students gained exposure to everything from QPU assembly to cryogenic systems and measurement workflows, learning by doing, not just by studying theory. The Bluefors Lab in Delft provided the setting for this practical training, giving students the opportunity to work with the cryogenic infrastructure and technologies that underpin real quantum applications. #CoolForProgress
A first-of-its-kind milestone in hands-on quantum workforce development. Two weeks ago, this cohort of second-year engineering students had never touched quantum hardware. By the end of the programme, they could independently prepare a dilution refrigerator for real measurements. QuantrolOx recently ran a two-week hands on workforce development programme for second-year bachelor’s students, taking them from theory to practice across the full quantum hardware stack - QPU assembly, cryogenic electronics, measurement systems, and dilution refrigerator components. Students started with #QuantumEDGE #Academy, our practical training platform built to make quantum hardware accessible to people from mechanical engineering, computer science, and electrical engineering backgrounds - no prior quantum experience required. From there, they moved to the real system: learning how the full fridge stack comes together, then assembling and independently preparing it for measurement. The result: this cohort can now operate the #VIDYAQAR system at Manipal MAHE - part of Q-HUB@MAHE initiative.

Closing that gap needs hands-on system builders, not just classroom theory. A new generation of quantum-ready engineers, trained from the ground up. #QuantumEDGEAcademy #VIDYAQAR #QuantumComputing #QuantumTechnology #QuantumEducation #QuantumWorkforce #QuantumHardware #QuantumEngineering #DeepTech #QuantrolOx Manipal Academy of Higher Education, Vishal Chatrath, Jelena Trbovic, Dominic Lennon, Juha Seppä, Anton Vladyka, Anssi Collin, Aleksi Julku, Tomi Ruokola, Khanh Nguyen, Qiaochu Z., Alexander Lidiak, Ziyuan Lin (林子元), David Craig, Juho Lamminmäki, Ville Häsä, Timo Tuukkanen, Antti Huotari, Mikael Puhakka, Lauri V., Frederico Martins, Jonna Nummelin, Kati Suard, Mika Meskanen, Otto Lindfors, Andrew Briggs, Natalia Ares, Siddharth singh, Jonathan Dexter, Lasse Gerdt
