This one-day intensive course designed to demystify one of the most exciting frontiers in computing. Aimed at professionals, researchers, and curious learners from both technical and non-technical backgrounds, this course offers a clear, accessible introduction to the core principles of quantum computing and its integration with classical systems—known as hybrid computing.
Throughout the day, participants will explore the fundamentals of quantum mechanics relevant to computation, including qubits, superposition, entanglement, and quantum gates. The course also covers the current state of quantum hardware, software platforms, and the types of problems quantum computing is poised to address—such as optimization, cryptography, and materials discovery.
In parallel, the course introduces hybrid computing—where classical and quantum resources are combined to solve complex problems more efficiently. Real-world case studies from industry, finance, logistics, and healthcare will demonstrate how early-stage quantum solutions are already being prototyped and tested.
Participants will gain hands-on exposure to cloud-based quantum environments and learn how to run simple quantum circuits using graphical interfaces or code (no prior programming experience necessary). By the end of the day, attendees will have a solid conceptual foundation and practical insight into the possibilities—and limitations—of this emerging field.
Whether you're a decision-maker exploring future technologies, a technologist entering the quantum space, or simply curious about what comes after classical computing, this course offers a valuable launchpad into the quantum era.
