Quantum technologies are emerging across computing, cybersecurity, materials science and other industries, with significant investment from governments, industry and research institutions. As these technologies move closer to commercialization, there is growing demand for accessible education that helps non-specialists understand what quantum is, how it works at a conceptual level, and where it is being applied in practice.
Developed by the Stewart Blusson Quantum Matter Institute at UBC, our offering provides expert-led, accessible learning that builds foundational understanding of quantum concepts and their real-world applications. The micro-certificate explores key areas of quantum science, including computing, cryptography and sensing, helping you build confidence in understanding core concepts and practical applications of quantum technologies.
