 I'm Victoria Adebayo, I am a senior studying physics at Howard University and I am a member of the IBM HBCU Quantum Center. The IBM HBCU Quantum Center is a consortium of institutions, primarily historically black colleges and universities, that is working with our industry partner, IBM, to bring quantum research and education to the black community. This is a new field. So one of the goals of the center is that we can diversify the population and the people that are thinking about how we build the technology, but also how it's used. Being a part of the center is about having access to this entire network of black people who are interested in quantum research. The focus since the beginning has been on making this technology available to as many people as possible. If the people who are using this technology don't look like the full representation of the human population, then we're not attracting the best talent. We founded the IBM HBCU Quantum Center in 2020 with Howard University. It was at the height of the pandemic and right after the murder of George Floyd. It was also the start of all of these black and x movements, black in computer science, black in physics. We got to see all of these communities coming together celebrating black scientists and researchers. Often we are getting funding for the postdoc and the graduate student, very limited or no funding for the undergrad student. IBM Center is giving us that opportunity. HBCUs have created so many of the black professionals that we have in the US today. Supporting and nurturing talent at these institutions will prepare the nation for what's coming. That's the Quantum Revolution 2.0.
