The CAS Program: The Power of Quantum Computing in Life Sciences
A recent video by the CAS program Applied Quantum Computing for Business and Life Sciences, presented by Prof. Dr. Clément Javerzac of the University of Applied Sciences and Arts Northwestern Switzerland, provides opportunities for professional hands-on experience with quantum computing.
This program has been skillfully developed to help equip trainees with the right knowledge and skills to drive innovation at the quantum computing and life sciences interface. The curriculum starts with a preparatory bootcamp on the basics of quantum computing. Participants will gain intuition, program actual quantum computers, and deeply understand opportunities and risks with this cutting-edge technology. This program is designed such that professionals are able to separate hype from reality and focus on real world applications.
Among the core strengths of this program is its practical experiences, in which participants get into practical activities in applications for quantum computing, optimization, artificial intelligence (AI), cybersecurity, and chemistry. This method ensures that one has not only a proper grasp of the theoretical elements but also an understanding of their application in solving real-world challenges. The reach of the CAS program is not restricted to quantum physicists; rather, it is designed for experts from a wide range of professional backgrounds.
Whether you are an engineer or a business leader, or a life sciences specialist, this program is offered in a hybrid format combining online classes with bootcamps on-campus that gives access and networking opportunities. Participants will also get to engage with the quantum ecosystem, learning from the leaders in industry and gaining insights from major companies that are actually creating the cutting-edge quantum technologies.
Graduates of the CAS program will come out with a recognized degree, a solid foothold within the quantum ecosystem, and the ability to shape the future of research and business efforts.
