NSERC CREATE in Quantum Computing

在接下来的二十年里，预计量子计算将使我们能够解决一些世界上最紧迫的计算和社会问题，这些问题是经典计算机无法解决的。在这个工业流CREATE项目中，UBC， SFU和UVic将共同开发一个新的多学科研究生项目，旨在提供量子计算方面的专业培训。该计划将补充和加强我们现有的研究生课程在物理，电气和计算机工程，化学和计算机科学。我们的目标是提供一个独特的训练范例，涵盖整个量子计算领域，从构建量子计算机（“硬件”）到创建新的应用程序（“软件”）。该方案的独特之处在于培训的范围和实践方面。由于当地行业对学员的需求迅速增长，该计划将在研究生课程中嵌入实践研讨会，由行业专业人士共同授课。我们的计划将是世界上第一个培养能够构建量子计算硬件元素和编程以及开发量子计算算法，系统和应用程序的毕业生。我们的毕业生将创造出10到20年后量子计算所依赖的技术。为了确保我们的学员为就业做好准备，我们与BC省的行业合作伙伴以及其他涉及量子计算的加拿大和跨国公司协商制定了该计划。新设计的通信、商业化和创业方面的专业发展研讨会，项目管理方面的Mitacs研讨会，以及课程、研究项目和工业实习，将为学生提供通信和规划技能，以及高度专业化的软件和硬件技术专业知识，这些都是快速发展的量子技术领域的职业所需的。

In the next two decades, it is expected that quantum computing will allow us to solve some of the world's most pressing computational and societal problems that are unsolvable by classical computers. In this industrial stream CREATE program, UBC, SFU and UVic will jointly develop a new multidisciplinary graduate program designed to provide specialized training in quantum computing. The program will complement and strengthen our existing graduate programs in physics, electrical and computer engineering, chemistry, and computer science. Our objective is to offer a unique training paradigm that spans the entire field of quantum computing from building quantum computers ("hardware") to creating new applications ("software"). The uniqueness of the proposed program lies in the scope and practical aspects of the training. Driven by rapidly increasing local industry demands for trainees, the program will include hands-on workshops embedded within graduate courses, with workshops co-taught by industry professionals. Our program will be the first in the world to produce graduates capable of both building elements of quantum computing hardware and programming and developing quantum computing algorithms, systems and applications. Our graduates will create the technology upon which quantum computations will run 10 to 20 years from now. To ensure job readiness among our trainees, the program has been developed in consultation with our industry partners in BC as well as other Canadian and multinational companies involved in quantum computing. Newly designed professional development workshops in communication, commercialization and entrepreneurship, a Mitacs workshop in project management, as well as courses, research projects, and industrial internships, will provide students with the communication and planning skills, and highly specialized software and hardware technical expertise, required for careers in the rapidly growing quantum technologies sector.
