The European Union and its member states have launched several educational initiatives aimed at raising awareness of quantum technology and developing the workforce needed for its advancement. Many of these initiatives include online courses and videos designed to help better understand this technological field.
QTIndu(Quantum Technology Courses)
QTIndu project is developing courses directly linked to the industry needs and will be tailored to different business sectors, such as telecommunication, software, logistics, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, finance, and consulting, where QT is relevant. Each of these business sectors has its specific QT applications and specific needs for the qualificaion of their workforce.
QTIndu is funded by European Commission.
IQM Academy
The free online course offered by IQM Quantum Computers introduces the basics of quantum computing, including algorithms and applications. It is designed for high school and university students, teachers and anyone interested in quantum computing who wants to get started in the field without prior experience.
DigiQ
DigiQ is Europe’s largest quantum education project. It aims to reshape the future landscape of quantum physics. The programme, supported by several European universities and institutions, offers quantum education by integrating it into existing Masters programmes. It offers free accredited training modules, workshops and complementary learning materials.
Linux Foundation’s Fundamentals of Quantum Computing
A short course (about 3 hours) providing a beginner-friendly overview of the basics, applications and impact of quantum computing in different industries. The course has been developed in partnership with the World Bank and is aimed at a wide audience.
Quantum Technologies for Everyone (NQCC)
To make the concepts of quantum computing accessible to all, the National Quantum Computing Centre (NQCC) provides open educational materials and occasionally organises free events and workshops.
QWorld
QWorld organises free workshops, hands-on programmes and hackathons aimed at introducing participants to quantum computing. Topics include quantum algorithms, error correction and practical applications. The sessions are suitable for beginners and researchers alike.
