Recently, the development of quantum computers is making great progress and we need to learn how we can use the advantage of quantum computers.

Technology is seriously big business. Six of the world’s seven most valuable companies are technology firms and spending on Information Technology (IT) services has soared in recent years to almost $4 trillion in 2019. Understanding of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and digital skills are now in huge demand and have become almost universal requirements in today’s job market.
