CSU Chico Offers Locals Quantum Computing Course Scholarships through Department of Energy's RENEW Grant

The Department of Energy has announced 30 scholarships for a Summer Online Quantum Computing course. This course is part of the RENEW grant and offers 3 units towards a student's major. It is primarily for students in their junior year or above who have completed a semester of calculus and a programming course. The course aims to improve STEM training in quantum science.

Quantum computing is a technology that can solve complex problems. The course will teach students about quantum computation and algorithms. It will cover various algorithms, including Grover’s Search Algorithm, quantum error correction, and quantum cryptography. Students will also get a chance to develop their code on a quantum computer.

The course is provided by CSU, Chico and is open to all CSU students. To be eligible, students must be enrolled as undergraduates at any CSU campus. The course will run twice in the summer, from June 3 to June 25, 2024, and July 22 to August 13, 2024.
