The Optics & Laser Technology Department at Front Range Community College (FRCC) is a vital resource for training the optics and photonics technicians that have the skills to build quantum devices. It has the only optics undergraduate program in the state of Colorado. The program’s in-person classrooms can be found in Longmont, CO in FRCC’s Center for Integrated Manufacturing (CIM), and was built up with strong support from local industry and federal grants. FRCC is strengthening Quantum-CCSS curriculum for inclusion into FRCC Associates of Applied Science Degree in Optics Technology and quantum topics to build awareness, as useful, into its Optics Certificate program. They are also integrating existing Quantum-CCSS topics into applicable FRCC optics coursework. They will also work with regional secondary schools to expand access to Quantum-CCSS ready optics training programs.
