- Abstract
The Quantum Academy is a university and graduate level quantum computing career training course. The pilot program of the Quantum Academy debuts at NASA Ames Researcher in June 2016. The course consists of ten weeks of knowledge development, workshops, lectures, and lessons from industry experts in a multitude of current and future research topics of Quantum Computing. Students will learn the fundamental research areas, classical problems, technical requirements, and quantum algorithms. Students will utilize the D-Wave quantum annealing machine at NASA Ames Research Center and work side by side with the industry experts to gain a working knowledge of quantum computation. Topics include optimization that can be applied to aerospace, aviation, machine learning, robotic logistics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, biology, medicine, and additional aspects of spaceflight missions and planning. Quantum Computing is a diverse tool that will be able to solve many unique, multidisciplinary problems relating to optimization in its early applications. The Quantum Academy trains future researchers to understand the technical aspects from industry leaders and produces a pipeline for quantum computing and machine learning scientists to address its applications relevant to NASA's spaceflight and research goals.
