Learning Objectives

Quantum for Everyone course is designed to help learners gain a foundational understanding of quantum technologies, enabling them to demystify the field, recognise its potential impact across various industries, and strategically consider its relevance and application within their own organisations. This course will equip non-technical professionals with the knowledge to engage in informed discussions about quantum technologies, assess potential risks and opportunities, and understand the evolving quantum landscape. 

Key learning objectives include: 

• Gain a realistic understanding of what quantum computing is, distinguishing hype from current realities and grasping the fundamentals of its power, hardware, and software. 

• Identify and analyse potential applications of quantum computing across diverse industries such as chemistry, pharmaceuticals, finance, and materials science. 

• Comprehend the principles behind quantum-resistant algorithms and quantum cryptography and learn how to perform a basic quantum-risk assessment for their business. 

• Develop an understanding of the global quantum ecosystem, including key players (companies, startups, initiatives) and the steps involved in becoming a potential end-user of quantum technologies. 

• Acquire the necessary technical, business, and management insights to begin exploring the potential integration of quantum technologies within their organisation. 

What skills you will learn

At the end of this course you will have improve your: 

• Technical skills as this course provides a gentle introduction to quantum computing, cloud-quantum computing, quantum and post-quantum cryptography. By the end of this course, you will be “quantum fluent”. 

• Business skills as this course provides an overview of business use-cases across industries for present and future quantum computers. Also this course will equip you with the ability to identify business partners from the quantum industry. 

• Management skills as this course provides a timeline for you and your organisation to prevent cyber risks as well as guidelines for first deployment of a quantum computing project within your organisation.
