About the course

The ADvanced End-to-end QUAntum computing TEchnical course (ADEQUATE), funded by the EIT Deep Tech Talent Initiative, provides a complete overview of the established quantum algorithms and computational techniques, accessible to a broad audience, with no requirement of prior familiarity with quantum physics.

Instructor

QWorld is a global network of individuals, groups, and communities collaborating on education and implementation of quantum technologies and research activities. It is a non-profit organisation that brings quantum computing researchers & enthusiasts together. In collaboration with QURECA through education and skill development opportunities, QWorld is training the next generation of quantum scientists.

Learning objectives

Following a hands-on, interactive learning approach using quantum programming languages such as Qiskit and PennyLane, it provides a solid understanding of the fundamental principles of quantum computing, building the necessary skills to independently apply it to solving specific problems.

The course takes the approach of learning by application and problem solving, consisting of content and projects which are suitable for testing on actual quantum computing hardware. The training contextualises the historical development of quantum computing as well as its current and future applicability to scientific and industrial challenges.
