Newest Quantum Computing Course from Udacity Free For 30 Days
Imagine a world where the computers that have built some of the greatest inventions of our lifetime are exponentially slower than the computers that will soon power our daily lives. Picture a future where everything from supply chain management to R&D to market predictions operates at speeds previously unimaginable. This has been the promise of quantum computing since the 1980s when pioneers like Richard Feynman and David Deutsch first explored the potential of quantum systems – and it’s a promise that has driven my own professional journey as well.
Up to this point though, while the field has remained a fixture in the world’s most prestigious research labs, its success on the market has yet to take full effect. However, the tide is rapidly shifting. McKinsey highlighted this in April 2024, stating, “Accelerating technological breakthroughs, increasing investment flows, start-up proliferation, and promises of capable quantum systems by 2030 signal it’s time for business leaders to begin planning their quantum-computing strategies.”
A number of forward-thinking organizations like hedge funds, banks, and automobile manufacturers are already investing in quantum computing – and the savvy business leaders who join them in exploring its applications now will gain a significant advantage over their competitors. That’s why my new Udacity course, Discovering Quantum Computing, which is launching today and available for free for 30 days, is a timely opportunity to get up to speed.
