The quantum market is expected to grow significantly in the years to come. The seminar provides a unique opportunity for professionals in life sciences, financial sector, communication, electricity, transport and logistics and many other sectors to acquire expertise in quantum computing and leverage its potential for transformative advances in their fields. This course is crafted for non-experts to become a quantum-aware resource within their organization, enabling informed decision-making and proficient navigation of the quantum ecosystem in the years ahead. With a comprehensive curriculum including hands-on experience, participants will be prepared to navigate the intersection of quantum and real-life use cases, drive innovation and shape the future of scientific research and applications in their organizations. Participants will be empowered to make better informed decisions regarding the business and technical implications of quantum computing in their organisations.
This seminar is specifically designed for non-experts to understand how quantum technology can be leveraged now and in the coming years in areas such as cybersecurity, optimization, AI, and chemistry. What challenges will you or your company address with quantum technology? And how will it be applied to real-world problems in the near future?
The workings of quantum technology will be examined, foundational principles will be explained, and intuitive understanding will be fostered. Practical programming will be undertaken, opportunities and risks will be critically assessed, and misconceptions will be distinguished from factual developments.
- Day 1: Introduction and basic computer science concepts. First elements of quantum physics and quantum information.
- Day 2: Quantum computing hardware and software. More on quantum computing and quantum optimization.
- Day 3: Hybrid quantum-classical algorithms and quantum machine learning. Beyond quantum computing. Applications, ecosystems and ethical considerations.
The seminar explores how quantum computing can solve complex problems that traditional machines can't, with applications in fields such as drug discovery, climate change and digitalization. You'll gain hands-on experience in programming quantum computers, building intuition and understanding the opportunities and risks of quantum technology in areas including AI, cybersecurity and chemistry. Designed for non-experts, this course will help you understand how quantum computing can be applied to real-world challenges, whether you're an engineer or a business leader. It is designed as a 3-days bootcamp on campus to facilitate access and networking.
