Description

The University of Calgary has formed a strategic partnership with the Government of Alberta, and Mphasis, an information technology company, to establish Quantum City. One of the main goals of the Quantum City initiative is to create new talent development programs, to attract talent, researchers, and students to Calgary. In this spirit, the University of Calgary has launched the first-ever professional master’s in quantum computing: a 12-month program, with 8 months in class and a 4-month internship.
