Quantum computers, like the first digital computers, promise breakthroughs far beyond today’s technology. They could transform industries by solving problems that seem impossible right now.

Many professionals and decision-makers agree: now is the time to prepare for the business and technical impact of quantum computing.

MIT xPRO’s 2-course certificate program, Quantum Computing Fundamentals, helps learners explore quantum concepts through simulations, case studies, and hands-on tools like the IBM Q experience—guided by world-class MIT faculty.

In this interactive webinar, MIT’s Dr. William Oliver will:

  • Share a brief history and overview of quantum computing

  • Explain who will benefit from the program

  • Walk through the program structure, content, and faculty involved

  • Highlight a next step on your QC learning journey: his follow-up 2-course program Quantum Computing Realities

The session will end with a live Q&A. Register above and you'll receive an email from Zoom with your login instructions.
