Dear learners,

Welcome to this second part of the Professional Certificate in Quantum 101: Quantum Computing & Quantum Internet.

Usually, lectures, articles and videos about quantum computation mostly talk about qubits themselves, and all the quantum phenomena that make qubits exciting, futuristic, and almost impossible to fully understand.

Qubits on their own, however, don’t form a working quantum computer. The qubit might be the most spectacular element of the computer, but many more layers are needed to actually work with the quantum phenomena that give the quantum computer its great powers.

This Professional Certificate will touch on all of these layers: from the devices which bridge the gap between the quantum chip and the classical control hardware, to the mathematical aspects of some quantum algorithms. This is the second part of the program, “Architecture, Algorithms, and Protocols of a Quantum Computer and Quantum Internet”: in the first part, we discussed the physical materials, four different types of qubit, and operations on these qubits. We encourage you to follow this course as well, to get a full overview of the quantum computer. This second MOOC, part 2, will dive deeper into the other layers of quantum computers and a quantum internet, such as the classical electronics/hardware and the different types of classical and quantum software involved.

We hope you enjoy the course with us!

Kind Regards,

The QuTech Team
