Quantum science and technology are transitioning rapidly from fundamental research to early-stage deployment, driven by advances in materials, devices, systems integration, software, and applications in computing, sensing, networking, and metrology. As this transition accelerates, progress increasingly depends not only on scientific breakthroughs, but also on the coordinated development of shared infrastructure, a skilled and adaptable workforce, and effective pathways for translating research into impact. This all-invited workshop will bring together leaders from across the quantum ecosystem, including government, national laboratories, nonprofits, industry, startups, and academia, to provide complementary perspectives on the current state of quantum technologies and the challenges that must be addressed to enable scalable and sustainable growth. Speakers will discuss the role of public–private partnerships, national and regional infrastructure, workforce development efforts, and ways to accelerate translation from research to real-world applications. A central focus of the workshop will be identifying near-term priorities and actionable strategies for building a resilient quantum ecosystem that can support both innovation and deployment. The invited talks will be followed by a panel discussion aimed at synthesizing cross-sector insights and highlighting opportunities for collaboration across disciplines and institutions. This workshop will serve as a programmatic anchor for the Quantum Science & Technology activities at AVS 72 and will be complemented by QS mini-symposium sessions throughout the week that explore technical advances in quantum materials, devices, integration, sensing, and manufacturing. We invite all AVS attendees interested in shaping the future of quantum technology to participate in this workshop and contribute to defining pathways for infrastructure development, workforce training, and translation to impact. This workshop will be followed by QS scientific sessions throughout the week that delve deeper into technical advances in quantum science and technology.
