Quantum Computing Inc. Announces QUBT University
August 04 2021 - 8:31AM
Quantum Computing Inc. (the “company” or “QCI”) (Nasdaq: QUBT)
today announced its QUBT University program (QUBT U). The
program will empower qualified students to get hands-on experience
with quantum computing and quantum-ready algorithms like QUBO and
QAOA by providing access to QCI’s flagship product Qatalyst™, a
ready-to-run software for solving complex optimization problems on
both classical and quantum computers, as well as quantum
educational resources. Students can solve their first quantum-ready
problem within a few days versus the many months it might otherwise
take to code the same quantum problem as a quantum program.
The Quantum Club of Notre Dame University will be the first
student participants in QUBT University. They will solve three
complex problems, each with increasing difficulty, as part of the
initial Qatalyst work. Their experiences and feedback will be
instrumental in expanding and evolving QUBT U to advance education
in the field.
“The Quantum Computing Club at the University of Notre Dame is
super excited to get involved with QCI’s QUBT University program to
explore the power of quantum computing,” said Robert Koniuta,
Founder of The Quantum Club. “QUBT University offers us the chance
to get hands-on experience with quantum computers including D-Wave,
IonQ and Rigetti, using Qatalyst ready-to-run software for quantum
inspired classical and quantum computing. Let the quantum challenge
begin!”
QUBT U gives students the opportunity to work with a variety of
classical (CPU) and quantum (QPU) computers, using advanced quantum
techniques. With Qatalyst, students will solve complex constrained
optimization problems on classical computers and a diversity of
quantum computers including D-Wave, IonQ and Rigetti, all via AWS
Braket.
“We are launching QUBT U to empower those students in academic
fields that will leverage quantum computers in the future,” said
Robert Liscouski, CEO of QCI. “By giving them the opportunity to
experience a simpler way to solve complex problems with quantum
computers, we’re exposing them to a more effective method to take
advantage of quantum powered technology.”
QUBT University participants receive:
- Free access to Qatalyst, QCI’s ready-to-run software for
complex computations, and the ability to run problems using the six
API calls.
- Sample problems to get students started in a step by step
approach to using quantum.
- Tutorial videos and a list of frequently asked questions to
help new students learn quickly and start solving problems right
away.
- Simple feedback mechanisms to share their experiences with
QCI.
QUBT University is available for anyone working in an academic
setting including undergraduates, professors, and researchers.
Participants must have the following qualifications:
- Knowledge of operational research type computations,
specifically constrained optimization
- Working knowledge of physics, mathematics and/or quantum
mechanics
- Programming skills: How to call functions in Python and access
Python object attributes, how to create Numpy or Scipy
matrices
