PATHWAYS TO QUANTUM:
GLOBAL INDUSTRY
CHALLENGE

About the Pathways to Quantum Challenge

Explore the future of quantum. Start your journey here.

A global high school competition inspired by Connected DMV's Global Industry Challenge — launching Summer 2026.

The Pathways to Quantum: Global Industry Challenge invites students from around the world to discover how quantum technologies are shaping the future — and why they matter.

Quantum information science and technology (QIST) — spanning computing, sensing, communications, and materials — is moving from theory to real-world impact. These technologies are beginning to transform industries and tackle complex global challenges in entirely new ways.

Pathways to Quantum connects curiosity with opportunity — giving students early access to one of the most important fields shaping the next generation.
