High-Level Quantum Computing Training for Decision Makers

Quantum Computing Training for Executives: This compact 8 hours course (lunch to lunch) introduces managers and decision-makers to the strategic potential of quantum computing. Participants explore key concepts, technologies, and business applications, gain insights into quantum software and hardware, and discover future trends—without needing deep math or physics. Ideal for leaders aiming to leverage quantum computing for competitive advantage.

After the seminar, participants are able to...

... understand core concepts such as qubits, superposition, entanglement, and the no-cloning theorem.

... gain insights into quantum hardware types and their pros and cons.

... distinguish between classical and quantum computing approaches and recognize when quantum computing is beneficial.

... identify use cases in fields like logistics, finance, and AI.

... identify major players in the quantum ecosystem and current investment trends.

... understand industry challenges, including error correction, scalability and cryptography needs.
