What does IIT Madras quantum computing course cover?

IIT Madras offers a quantum science and technology course. This dual degree program was started in 2020 seeing the widespread requirement for skilled professionals who know quantum computing. 

The course aims to provide students with a strong foundation in the QuST domain. Students will learn about the physical and technical aspects of building quantum devices and how quantum algorithms and protocols are implemented. The course also features applications of quantum theory to fundamental physics and designing efficient quantum protocols. Upon course completion, students can take on modern QuST problems easily. There are also elective courses that students can choose from.

BTech students or dual degree students of IIT Madras can upgrade to this program if they consistently maintain an 8 CGPA up to the 5th semester. There are only 25 seats and the institute rules govern the degree allocation. There are also short-term online courses on quantum computing by IIT Madras on NPTEL.
