Quantum Technician

What You’ll Learn

In Deep Dive’s new Quantum Technician bootcamp, you will learn to solve complex, real-world problems that conventional technology can’t solve. We will teach you the fundamentals of quantum science, quantum technology, and quantum physics so that you are prepared for a high-tech manufacturing position in the semiconductor, solar manufacturing, and opto-electronics industries.  

Central New Mexico Community College (CNM) has received $862,000 in federal funding to establish a quantum science lab and develop a quantum training bootcamp to support the fast-growing workforce needs of this emerging field. Our new QuLL (Quantum Learning Lab), set to open in 2025, will be fully equipped with frontier technologies used in quantum computing to drive innovation.  

More than 10,000 quantum jobs are expected to be created by 2030 and 80 percent of these jobs will be for non-advanced degrees. Join Deep Dive’s Quantum Technician bootcamp and secure your future in quantum technology.   

Highlights

Requirements

No prior math or STEM experience is required. We will help you learn all you need to know about quantum tech.   

It’s expected that our students will have a practical understanding of popular operating systems, as well as fundamental computer, internet, and calculator skills. Contact us for information about minimum specs. Limited loaners are available through CNM ITS

Edward Ishman

Edward Ishman served as an Aerospace Maintenance Journeyman in the United States Air Force where he maintained the airworthiness of the C-130 multi-mission transport aircraft fleet. Along with CNM Ingenuity’s Technology Solutions Lab, Edward has collaborated with ABQ BioPark providing greenhouse monitoring technology as well as Century Sign Builders where he used 3D print technology and programming methods to produce an indoor air quality device.

What Our Team Members Are Saying

“Over the course of the next few years, we’re going to see quantum become more applicable to solving real world problems, which will require more technicians to build and maintain quantum systems. CNM will be at the forefront of building and training that workforce.”
