SUMMARY:Beyond the Pipeline: Fostering Equity in Our Quantum Future
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:Summary \n\nKIM DE LAAT\, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO\n\nQuantum Nan
 o Centre (QNC) Room 0101\, 200 University Avenue West\,\nWaterloo\, ON\n\n
 The field of quantum computing has a unique opportunity to pre-empt\nmany 
 of the inequities that have riddled AI and computer science. But\nradical 
 technologies require new\, radical solutions. In this talk\, I\ntake issue
  with the leaky pipeline metaphor as a way of structuring\npolicy interven
 tions concerning inequality in STEM fields. I outline\nthree reasons why o
 verreliance on the leaky pipeline metaphor is\nproblematic: (1) it does no
 t accurately represent the phenomenon it is\nmeant to describe\; (2) it is
  incomplete\; and (3) it does not capture\nthe full heterogeneity of exper
 iences with inequality in STEM\ndisciplines. I conclude the talk by sharin
 g feedback from the quantum\ntechnology community concerning potential pit
 falls in the pursuit of\nequity in quantum\, and what we can do about it.\
