Quantum Computing for Classical(Java) Programmers

January 23, 2023

Overview

As quantum computers become available to the general public, the need has arisen to train a cohort of quantum programmers, many of whom have been developing classical computer programs for most of their careers.
The course introduces computer scientists, physicists, and engineers to quantum algorithms and provides a blueprint for their implementations.
Finance use cases
- Front-office and back-office decisions on client management for “know your customer,” credit origination, and onboarding,
- Treasury management, trading and asset management,
- Business optimization, including risk management and compliance.

After taking the course, participants will be able to
- Explain the principles of quantum computing and quantum algorithms.
- Apply quantum algorithms to solve problems in chemistry, finance, and machine learning.
- Use a local emulator in Java.
- Be ready for the quantum computing revolution and estimate its feasibility for their applications.
