Key Summary
About: The Fraunhofer Academy course covers basics of quantum computing, key quantum algorithms and practical quantum hardware use. It links Shor's algorithm and the first NMR quantum algorithm (1992) to recent advances: cloud-hosted QPUs running 64-qubit quantum neural networks, the potential quantum supremacy announcement, and roadmaps toward 1,000 qubits for innovation transfer into company operations.
Career Outcomes: You can pursue career opportunities as a quantum software engineer, quantum algorithm developer, QPU/cloud specialist, quantum hardware engineer, R&D scientist or quantum consultant. Employers include research institutes, semiconductor firms, cloud providers and tech startups. Key skills: quantum algorithms, qubits, quantum programming, hardware-aware development, systems integration, innovation management.
Quantum mechanics provides the basis for a new computing paradigm. In the 1990s Shor's algorithm which exponentially speeds up classical integer factorization demonstrated the theoretical power of quantum computers. Recently, the development of quantum computers is making great progress and we need to learn how we can use the advantage of quantum computers.
In this course you will learn the basics of quantum computing and the most important algorithms of quantum computing.
Quantum Computing technology has advanced greatly in recent years. In the past 3 decades alone, new technologies have brought about a huge leap in Quantum Computation, from running the first ever quantum algorithm back in 1992 using Nuclear Magnetic Resonance(NMR), to running Quantum Neural Networks nowadays on a 64-Qbit Quantum Processing Unit (QPU) via Cloud. The technological advancement has accelerated greatly, more significantly over the past 2 years marked by the first announcement of a potential Quantum Supremacy. Moreover, Quantum Hardware developers have revealed their roadmap to reach a 1000 Qbit machine hinting that at an exponential rate, a million Qbit machine might be expected.
