INEMESIT ETIM / Quantum ZietGeist / 5 December 2022
“According to a 2020 analysis by Interference Advisors, women make up 10% of women in quantum startups as opposed to 46% in STEM. This may be because there is more gender bias against women than men when they enter STEM or quantum fields.
If more women are to embrace quantum, society has to overcome obstacles affecting gender equality in science and related fields. Leading quantum companies must employ more women in leadership roles to encourage those starting out as well as women who want to switch to the sector.
