This unique Quantum Computing training program is co-delivered by faculty at three BC universities (UBC, SFU, and UVic) in collaboration with Quantum Computing industry partners. It will equip graduates with highly specialized technical expertise and commercial skills in both quantum computing hardware and software.
This program is not a graduate program by itself. It is meant as “add on” training to a student’s degree program. Every student will have a home department and will take part in the CREATE Quantum Computing Program in addition to their other studies.
For more information, please contact the Program Coordinator: bahiyyih.peters@ubc.ca.
