About This Online Course
In this online course, created by FedLearn content partner, SandboxAQ, you will obtain a solid overview of the fundamental concepts of quantum science and their applications in quantum technologies.
By the end of this self-paced, online training course, which should take 90 to 120 minutes to complete, you will be able to state the key opportunities, challenges and risks in quantum technology research and development. You will also be able to distinguish between reasonable scientific claims and hype in companies, products and funding proposals.
We will equip you with the ability to communicate the basic principles of quantum science in a non-technical way to non-specialists, and how these tenets are useful for all quantum technologies. You also will be able to comfortably discuss quantum technologies, including quantum sensing, post-quantum cryptography and quantum simulation. Lastly, you will understand investments and priorities in quantum technologies from governments around the world.
Join us on this exciting journey to learn about the future of quantum technologies and how they will shape our world!
