Practical Quantum Programming

100% online course

https://quantgates.com/learn-quantum

This course offers a comprehensive introduction to quantum computing, starting from the basics and progressing to advanced algorithm design and implementation. No prior knowledge of quantum computing or quantum physics is required, though familiarity with matrix-vector multiplication is expected. The course will guide you through the mathematics of quantum computing, the creation of quantum gates and circuits, and the implementation of the Quantum Approximate Optimization Algorithm (QAOA) on IBM's quantum computers. With a focus on practical applications, this asynchronous course is suitable for beginners and experienced programmers alike.   It is an course taught on Canvas, Asynchronous.    Cost $24.00.  A certificate is earned and awarded.

Cyber Security Graduate Certificate (Mathematics Track)

Cybercrime-related issues especially impact the State of Florida because a significant part of the state's economic development comes from tourism, international banking and high-tech industries. The number of scientists, engineers, and experts needed with special skills in cybersecurity exceeds the number available. The Cyber Security certificate provides opportunities for graduate students to expand their knowledge and skills to meet the needs of the cybersecurity field. Due to their extensive expertise and facilities, the departments of Computer and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and Mathematical Sciences have jointly designed the Cyber Security certificate. This 12-credit certificate program has two tracks: Computer Science (CS) and Mathematics (Math).

Mathematics Track

The Cyber Security certificate with a track in Mathematics will be granted to a student who completes four 3-credit courses as follows:

• Three 3-credit courses from the Math Cyber Security course list.
• One 3-credit course from either the Math or the CS Cyber Security course list.

Admission

Open to students who have a bachelor's degree in mathematics or in a related field and a GPA of at least 3.0.

• Students must satisfy the prerequisites for each course in the program.
• All four courses must be completed with a GPA of 3.0 or better.
• All course materials are in English; all international students must demonstrate proficiency in English to enter the program.
