Online Certification Courses In Quantum Computing And Cloud Computing By IIT Madras And IIT Kharagpur, Join Now!

Quantum computing and cloud computing are rapidly emerging technologies that have a wide range of applications. While cloud computing is the delivery of computing services such as servers, databases, networking, storage, software, analytics, etc. over the internet, quantum computing harness the laws of quantum mechanics for solving problems that are too complex for classical computers.

To make students aware of these technologies, IIT Madras and IIT Kharagpur are coming up with certification courses in Quantum Computing and Cloud Computing respectively. Here are the details of these courses.

IIT Madras Certification Course on Quantum Computing

The well-structured course has industry support from IBM, Infosys, CQC, Honeywell, Google, Microsoft, Intel, TCS, Righetti, D-Wave, and several other players. The presence of IBM makes this course even more valuable, as IBM is the pioneer in Quantum technologies.

Eligibility

The course is open to students, researchers, and faculty from Computer Science and Physics, Mathematics, and Chemistry departments.

Course Structure

The total duration of the course is 4 weeks. The syllabus would be covered in the following manner:

Week 1	Introduction and IBM Quantum Perspective, Q Mission in India – Invited talk, Quantum Computing Applications, Quantum Computing Basics
Week 2	IBM Quantum Composer and Quantum Lab using Qiskit
Week 3	Quantum Algorithms-I (Oracles, Deustch Jozsa), Quantum Algorithms-II (Grover's Algorithm with Hands-on)
Week 4	Quantum Error Correction, NISQ era Quantum Algorithms (VQE/QAOA and industrial applications)

The instructors include an Associate Professor from IIT Madras, a Research Scientist from IBM Research, and a Senior Engineer from IBM systems.

Other Important Details

The course is free of cost but in order to get a certificate, you need to register and take a proctored exam conducted by IIT Madras in person at any of the designated exam centers. The exam fee would be INR 1000 and it would be conducted on 25th September 2022.

Criteria to get the certificate

Average assignment score = 25% of the average of the best 3 assignments out of the total 4 assignments given in the course.
Exam score = 75% of the proctored certification exam score out of 100
Final score = Average assignment score + Exam score
A candidate will be eligible for a certificate only if the average assignment score is more than or equal to 10/25 and the exam score is more than or equal to 30/74. However, if one of the two criteria is not met, one would not be eligible to get the certificate.
The certificate will be e-verifiable at this link.

The last date to enroll in the courses is 1st August 2022. Join Now!
