Quantum Myth (QTIndu)

This course on Quantum Myths gives you an insight into varying, mostly broad statements about quantum technologies – especially quantum computing. Together, we will review and clarify diverse myths regarding the performance, potential and accessibility of quantum computers. Additionally, we have a look at the relation to other important technologies too. You possibly met these interesting myths in your everyday life and asked, whether they are correct or not.

This course is accessible online for free and is the first audio-course of the QTIndu project. The target audience includes quantum novices and enthusiasts. Learners will gain insights into different myths about Quantum Computing, which will be explained and analysed. Through interactive exercises and scenarios, learners will have the opportunity to improve their competencies in evaluating and distinguishing various statements.

Learning objectives

By the end of this course, learners will be able to: 

• Deal with everyday statements about quantum computing in a differentiated way
