The Skills Gap in Quantum Computing Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Quantum computing stands at the frontier of technological innovation. Promising breakthroughs in areas as diverse as cryptography, materials discovery, optimisation and machine learning, quantum technologies are shifting from academic research to early commercial deployment. Governments, defence organisations, finance firms and tech innovators around the world — including in the UK — are investing heavily in quantum talent and capability. Yet despite this surge in interest and investment, employers consistently report a troubling trend: Many graduates with quantum computing qualifications are not prepared for real-world quantum computing jobs. This isn’t a reflection on students’ intelligence or effort. Rather, it reveals a persistent skills gap between what universities teach and what organisations actually need. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where programmes fall short, why the divide persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge that gap to build successful careers in quantum computing.

Quantum Computing Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Quantum computing is exciting. Headlines about qubits, quantum advantage and futuristic breakthroughs can make it seem like the preserve of physicists in high-tech labs. But for career switchers in their 30s, 40s or 50s in the UK, the truth is both broader and more practical: there are real job opportunities connected to quantum computing that don’t require you to come straight out of a PhD programme. This article gives you a grounded UK-focused reality check on quantum computing jobs, what roles genuinely exist, which ones are suited to career switchers, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining realistically takes and how to position your experience for success. Whether you’re coming from IT, engineering, project management, research support, operations, compliance or even sales & communications — there are ways to pivot into this fast-growing field if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Quantum Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Quantum computing is no longer confined to university labs and research papers. UK companies are now actively hiring quantum software engineers, physicists, hardware specialists, cryptographers and commercial leads as the sector moves closer to real-world deployment. But while demand for quantum talent is rising, many employers are struggling to attract the right candidates. Roles attract either underqualified applicants who see “quantum” as a buzzword, or highly academic researchers who are a poor fit for commercial environments. The problem often isn’t the candidate pool — it’s the job advert. Writing a strong quantum job ad requires a very different approach to traditional tech hiring. Quantum professionals are highly specialised, sceptical of hype and acutely aware when an employer doesn’t truly understand the field. In this guide, we’ll break down how to write a quantum job ad that attracts the right people, filters out the wrong ones and positions your organisation as a serious, credible player in the quantum ecosystem.
