Skills for Quantum Technology

Content

Module Lead: Dr Fedja Orucevic

In this module, you’ll learn the skills that are required for building practical quantum technology systems and platforms. The module will focus on:

• programming skills, such as using Python programming language in a scientific context, learning how to analyse and fit the data, and plotting graphs
• exploring the operation of microcontrollers and using stimulating experimentation opportunities based on open-source hardware
• 3D CAD design, where you’ll learn how to construct solid models, assemblies, and detail drawings using a feature-based parametric design CAD programme.

This module is particularly useful for students looking to expand their quantum literacy, and you’ll learn highly sought-after programming skills and engineering fundamentals. From a professional perspective, as companies continue to expand their quantum technology branches and require more quantum experts, students with the ability to handle system-designs involved in quantum technology (such as electronics and photonics) will have a distinct, competitive edge in the employment market.
