| contents | We focus on reflections and suggestions of five college quantum educators from four different institutions (two from same institution) regarding what can be done to diversify the second quantum revolution. They are leading QIST researchers, and very passionate about improving quantum education. The educators were asked about their thoughts on whether the interdisciplinary nature of the field, in which nobody can claim to be an expert in all aspects of QIST, may make it easier to create a better culture from the beginning, supportive of equitable participation of diverse groups unlike physics. This is because disciplines such as physics have an ingrained inequitable culture based on brilliance attribution that is a major impediment to diversity, equity and inclusion. Educators were interviewed on Zoom using a semi-structured think-aloud protocol about various issues related to QIST education including those pertaining to how to diversify the second quantum revolution. Their suggestions can be invaluable and can help other educators adapt and implement strategies to diversify QIST. |
