Abstract	There is a quantum computing race among the tech giants Google, IBM, and Microsoft, including to a lesser extent Amazon and China's Alibaba. Governments, particularly America and China, are funding work in the area with the concern that quantum computers may soon crack current encryption methods, giving the country that gets there first a major advantage. There are currently about 100 universities worldwide with some activity in quantum computing. Considerable funding is also available and the 2019 U.S. National Quantum Initiative Act authorized $1.2 billion funding over the next 5-10 years. This paper shares the positive experience of Pace University in teaching quantum computing and encourages other schools to join us in this revolutionary step forward for computing. The paper discusses our experiences teaching a graduate-level quantum computing course, teaching the projects component of the course that develops problems to be solved on IBM's Q Experience quantum computing simulator, and teaching quantum computing modules in high schools.
