Training
The Quantum Algorithms Institute creates and delivers professional development training and resources to build expertise in quantum computing.
Our goal is to build quantum literacy in the business community and grow the quantum workforce with the skills, knowledge and experience needed to apply quantum computing to companies and organizations.
The fastest way to grow the quantum workforce is to upskill people who already have STEM or other related qualifications.
QAI is your link to resources and training to help you transition to the quantum industry.
The Quantum Algorithms Institute currently offers the following training opportunities:
Introduction to Post-Quantum Cybersecurity
Hands-On Workshop for Infosec Professionals.
The information and communication technologies sector are set to be disrupted by rapid advances in quantum computing and communications in coming years. Starting from advances in computing and networking resulting from quantum technologies, learners will be introduced to threats and opportunities for cybersecurity.
Learners will understand the Canadian national quantum readiness strategies, connect with peers, experts, and solutions in this space, and acquire the resources, strategies, and tools to prepare their organizations. Learners will tys
Introduction to Quantum Computing for STEM Professionals
This introductory workshop is designed to equip STEM professionals with the knowledge and skills to explain high-level concepts in quantum computing. Participants will gain insights into the potential applications of quantum computing across various industries and explore the challenges associated with its adoption.
Through this focused half-day online workshop, attendees will build a foundational understanding of quantum computing, enabling them to better understand its relevance and impact within their own fields.
D-Wave Quantum Computing Training @ QAI
D-Wave Quantum Computing Training @ QAI is a self-paced and instructor supported 1-week online course. This is a short, intensive time-period to learn how to use D-Wave Leap™ and explore how D-Wave quantum hardware and services can apply to a wide range of applications across multiple industries.
The Quantum Algorithms Institute is covering the full cost for the training to the D-Wave Leap™ Quantum Cloud service. This program is open to faculty, students, and staff that are currently with a post-secondary institution in Canada.
IBM Quantum System One Access @ QAI
With the announcement of the opening of the IBM Quantum System One in Quebec, QAI has formed an agreement with the Platform for Digital and Quantum Innovation of Quebec (PINQ²) to provide access to the IBM system for BC post-secondary faculty and students. QAI is covering the cost of access to the IBM system in support of the continued research excellence in B.C.
Quantum Software Engineering Bootcamp
This training program is provided in partnership with the University of Victoria and the Quantum Algorithms Institute.
The Quantum Software Engineering Bootcamp is an online intensive program designed to provide participants with the skills and knowledge to develop quantum software using Python, Qiskit, Git, and Docker. The Bootcamp is designed for a wide range of participants who need the skills to excel in the field of quantum computing―especially programmers looking to develop, test, and deploy quantum software.
