SUMMARY:Beyond the Pipeline: Fostering Equity in Our Quantum Future
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:KIM DE LAAT\, UNIVERSITY OF WATERLOO\n\nQuantum Nano Centre (QN
 C) Room 0101\, 200 University Avenue West\,\nWaterloo\, ON\n\nThe field of
  quantum computing has a unique opportunity to pre-empt\nmany of the inequ
 ities that have riddled AI and computer science. But\nradical technologies
  require new\, radical solutions. In this talk\, I\ntake issue with the le
 aky pipeline metaphor as a way of structuring\npolicy interventions concer
 ning inequality in STEM fields. I outline\nthree reasons why overreliance 
 on the leaky pipeline metaphor is\nproblematic: (1) it does not accurately
  represent the phenomenon it is\nmeant to describe\; (2) it is incomplete\
 ; and (3) it does not capture\nthe full heterogeneity of experiences with 
 inequality in STEM\ndisciplines. I conclude the talk by sharing feedback f
 rom the quantum\ntechnology community concerning potential pitfalls in the
  pursuit of\nequity in quantum\, and what we can do about it.
