Be one of the first high schools to give transcript credit for
Quantum Computing!
Qubit by Qubit Introduction to Quantum Computing Course is accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and is University of California A-G approved as a college preparatory course.
About the Program
We're looking for innovative high school partners who are
interested in being one of the first schools in the world to
offer a course in quantum computing.
Our partner schools provide their students with academic credit
for completing this first-of-its kind STEM course, and are able
to enroll their students for FREE. The course is virtual and
taught by Qubit by Qubit's instructors from leading
universities. Students will learn foundational quantum computing
skills, run code on a real quantum computer, and hear from
leading academic and industry quantum experts.

What Students Learn
Through two semesters of weekly lectures, lab sections, and
homework assignments, students will develop a foundational
understanding of quantum computing, including basic linear
algebra, quantum mechanics, quantum computation and
information, and quantum algorithms.
Students will spend the first half of the course developing
skills in math, including linear algebra, and Python. The
second half of the course will focus on coding quantum
circuits and quantum algorithms, leading to students coding on
a real quantum computer.
Some of the topics covered include:
- Learn how to code in Python, a programming language, and how to use Python for quantum computing
- Develop foundational linear algebra knowledge, including vectors and matrices, and learn how these concepts relate to quantum
- Implement Python libraries to code quantum circuits and quantum algorithms, including Grover's algorithm
- Learn more about the intersection of quantum and cyber security by carrying out a quantum cryptography protocol, quantum key distribution (QKD), in Python
- Run a Variational Quantum Eigensolver to simulate a molecule
- Learn how to code in Python programming language, and how to use Python for quantum computing
“The content in this course is cutting edge, and frankly it is incredible that we are given the opportunity to access it. As a teacher and student in the course, I am learning how quantum will impact our world in the years to come. It is important that we teachers are providing our students with the skills necessary to thrive, and I feel this quantum computing course does just that.”
