It's helpful but not required! We cover the quantum mechanics concepts needed for computing. Students who took our Quantum Mechanics program will have a head start, but we explain everything from the ground up.
No programming experience is required. While quantum programmers use code, our program focuses on understanding quantum computing concepts, algorithms, and applications rather than coding. Understanding concepts is the foundation for later programming.
Yes! IBM, Google, Microsoft, and others have built working quantum computers. Google achieved "quantum supremacy" in 2019. While still early, quantum computing is rapidly advancing from research labs to real applications.
Classes are held live online every Sunday from 10 AM to 1 PM EST for 4 consecutive weeks. Each 3-hour session includes lectures, visualizations, discussions, and Q&A time with our expert instructor.
Understanding quantum computing fundamentals is the first step toward careers in quantum software, quantum hardware, quantum research, and related fields. This program provides the conceptual foundation that formal education will build upon.
Yes! Students who complete all four sessions receive a Certificate of Completion from EdQuill Academy, documenting their achievement in exploring quantum computing.
