Learning objectives
- Assess the investment landscape of the quantum industry, including startups, venture capital, and key players.
- Understand the differences between classical and quantum computers abilities.
- Identify and articulate the potential applications and opportunities for quantum computing
What skills you will learn
- Why Quantum? Learning quantum computing is essential for advancing future technologies beyond Moore’s law, as classical computing faces physical and performance limitations. While classical computers perform tasks sequentially, quantum computers leverage the principles of superposition and entanglement to solve complex problems exponentially faster. Understanding these differences is essential for identifying when and how quantum computing can be applied to real-world challenges. Additionally, learn about how quantum technologies promise enhanced digital security through quantum encryption methods, which offer stronger protection against potential cyber threats in a post-quantum world.
- Investment Landscape of the Quantum Industry: Learn about the investment dynamics in the quantum space, from venture capital backing startups to major corporations making strategic moves as well as government announcing national strategies. By understanding the key players and trends, you can assess where quantum technologies are headed and how your organisation can position itself in this evolving market.
- Applications and Opportunities in Quantum Computing: The potential applications for quantum computing are vast. From optimising logistics in supply chains to developing new pharmaceuticals through quantum chemistry, this course will help you identify how quantum technologies can bring innovative solutions to your industry. You’ll gain insights into the early movers in quantum applications and strategies for integrating these advancements into your organisation’s roadmap.
