This micro-credential, Quantum Software Development, is a collaborative initiative between the Quantum Algorithms Institute (QAI) and the office of Professional Programs and Development at the University of Victoria’s Faculty of Engineering and Computer Science (FECS). The course prepares individuals with a background in computer programming or related STEM backgrounds to acquire competencies in programming quantum computers with a view to enhancing employability in quantum computing-aligned or quantum computing-adjacent industries.

Through hands-on activities and real-world examples, participants will learn how to think algorithmically in a quantum context and solve problems using tools designed for emerging quantum systems. The program is ideal for those preparing to enter the quantum workforce, becoming a quantum champion, shifting from traditional software roles, or building on their existing STEM background.

The course content includes the following modules:

  • Introduction to Quantum Computing
  • Quantum Computing Basics
  • Basic Quantum Protocols
  • Introduction to Quantum Hardware Platforms
  • Introduction to Quantum Programming with Python
  • Introduction to Quantum Software Development Platforms
  • Introduction to Quantum Algorithms
