UC Berkeley's Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computation

This course, available on EdX, offers a thorough introduction to both quantum mechanics and quantum computation. Spanning ten weeks, it requires a commitment of 5 to 12 hours per week. Participants will learn about quantum gates, circuits, and the practical implementation of quantum algorithms. Notably, the course includes live office hours during which students can engage directly with instructors.

Delft University of Technology: Quantum Computing Courses

Delft University, in partnership with QuTech, provides a series of courses on EdX, including:

• The Quantum Internet and Quantum Computers: How Will They Change the World?

  This six-week course, requiring 2 to 3 hours per week, is accessible to individuals from all backgrounds. It investigates the transformative effects of quantum computing and telecommunications in fields such as chemistry, machine learning, and security. Access to course materials is free, though a verified certificate is available for a fee of $50.

• DelftX Professional Certificate in Quantum Computing and Quantum Internet

  This more intensive program consists of two six-week courses, each demanding 6 to 8 hours of study per week. The curriculum focuses on quantum computer hardware and examines various qubit types, including Silicon spin, diamond NV center, superconducting, and topological qubits.

MITxPro: Professional Certificate in Quantum Computing

MIT offers an extensive professional certificate program in Quantum Computing, which is one of the pricier options available. The program encompasses courses such as: - Quantum Computing Fundamentals - Quantum Computing Algorithms for Cybersecurity, Chemistry, and Optimization - Practical Realities of Quantum Computation and Quantum Communication - Requirements for Large-Scale Universal Quantum Computation

Costing $2,149 per certificate, the program includes hands-on assignments using IBM Quantum Experience and essays that explore the commercial and strategic dimensions of quantum computing.

Purdue University: Micromasters in Quantum Technology

Purdue University offers a Micromasters program on EdX priced at $4,725. This comprehensive program equates to two semester-long university courses and is suited for individuals with a background in quantum mechanics and linear algebra. It also provides an opportunity to earn credits toward a Master’s Degree.

Keio University: Introduction to Quantum Computing

Rod Van Meter from Keio University presents a four-week course titled “Understanding Quantum Computers” on FutureLearn. This course is free, with a $69 fee for those seeking a verified certificate. It is taught in English and includes subtitles and translations in Japanese and Thai.

Foundational Quantum Mechanics Courses

For those looking to build a solid foundation in quantum mechanics, consider these courses: - Stanford's Quantum Mechanics for Scientists and Engineers Part 1: A nine-week course that covers essential quantum mechanics topics, including Schrödinger’s equation and eigenvalues. - Exploring Quantum Physics from the University of Maryland on Coursera: A four-week course tailored for individuals with a strong mathematical background or prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. - MIT’s Quantum Mechanics: A First Course on EdX: An advanced course designed for those aiming to deepen their understanding of quantum mechanics.

Quantum Machine Learning Course

The “Quantum Machine Learning” course from the University of Toronto on EdX, created by Peter Wittek, stands as a significant contribution to this field. Despite the unfortunate passing of Wittek in 2019, his influence endures through this impactful course.
