The Future of Quantum Computing Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Quantum computing is no longer confined to laboratory benches or theoretical physics journals. The UK is propelling itself into the quantum era through bold investment and strategic planning. With an updated National Quantum Strategy pledging billions of pounds in public funding through 2030, and private venture funding reaching record levels in 2024, the sector is gaining real momentum. Yet despite this surge, the UK quantum sector currently employs only around 1,700 people, with average salaries close to £50,000. At the same time, projections suggest that globally, quantum computing may drive the creation of a quarter of a million jobs by 2030, and possibly more than 800,000 by 2035. In the UK specifically, quantum-related activity could generate well over 100,000 jobs by 2055, though only a fraction would be directly within the quantum sector itself. This indicates a vast and evolving ecosystem, one where entirely new careers are likely to bloom—jobs that, today, have little or no presence. This article explores emerging quantum careers that currently don’t exist but may soon define the industry.
