Abstract: Data show that the presence of women in quantum science is affected by a number of detriments and their percentage decreases even further for higher positions. Beyond data, from our shared personal experiences as female tenured quantum physics professors, we believe that the current model of scientific leadership, funding, and authority fails to represent many of us. Women for quantum calls for a joint effort and aims with this initiative to contribute to such a transformation. It is time for a real change that calls for a different kind of force and for the participation of everyone. Data show that the presence of women in quantum science is affected by several detriments, especially for higher positions. This Manifesto outlines the values and goals of Women for Quantum—a group of female physics professors working in AMO physics, quantum many-body physics and quantum information - to foster an inclusive scientific community.
