Quantum 101 - Quantum Computing and Quantum Internet edX - online learning platform

Overview

Quantum supremacy is a term that refers to the projected ability of quantum computers to perform computations that are beyond the capabilities of any classical computer.

The aim of this program is to help you get up to speed with the present progresses in the transition to a quantum information era. After a quick review of some of the basic concepts that will enable you understanding the operating principles of quantum computation and quantum internet, the program will begin with an extensive discussion on some of the different ways qubits can be built.

Moreover, we will discuss how a large-scale quantum processor could be built using these qubits. Some of the topics that we cover are micro-architectures, compilers, and quantum programming languages. You will also explore some of the basics of quantum error-correction, an essential procedure that allows us to combat errors that arise during computations using delicate qubits.

The program then concludes with a discussion on the quantum internet: what is it? How can it be built? Why is it useful?

The program is a journey of discovery, so we encourage you to bring your own experiences, insights and thoughts via the forum! Learn more at this  Quantum 101 - Quantum Computing and Quantum Internet Professional Certificate in collaboration with Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) - DelftX.
