  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. It is time
for a real change that calls for a different kind of force and for the
participation of everyone. Women for quantum calls for a joint effort and aims
with this initiative to contribute to such a transformation.
