What if you could turn quantum complexity into strategic decisions?

Quantum technologies are opening up new possibilities in computing, communications and sensing. For organisations, the challenge is not simply to understand how these technologies work, but to identify where they can create value, when it makes sense to adopt them and what the implications might be.

This programme prepares you to bridge the gap between technological knowledge and decision-making. You will gain a rigorous foundation in the main quantum technologies and develop the judgement needed to interpret use cases, assess their potential and translate technical knowledge into strategic decisions.

You do not need an advanced background in physics or programming. The aim is to help you understand the potential, limitations and implications of these technologies and connect technology, strategy and impact.

From quantum knowledge to strategic decisions

Understand before you decide

Build a conceptual foundation that enables you to understand the principles of quantum technologies and use the relevant terminology with confidence.

Translate technology into strategy

Learn to interpret technical information and turn it into relevant insights for professionals, organisations and decision-makers.

Identify where quantum technologies can create value

Explore applications and use cases to assess where quantum technologies could deliver competitive and societal benefits.

Anticipate technology adoption

Develop the judgement needed to assess the maturity of different technologies and design adoption strategies suited to each context.

Make decisions responsibly

Incorporate ethical, regulatory, social, economic and environmental considerations into your evaluation of emerging technologies.

Frequently Asked Questions about the Program in Quantum Technologies: Quantum Strategist

Do I need advanced knowledge of quantum physics?

No. The programme is designed to help you understand and apply the principles of quantum technologies in strategic and innovation contexts without requiring an advanced background in physics.

Do I need programming skills?

No. Advanced programming skills are not required either. The focus is on understanding the technologies, interpreting their potential and developing the judgement needed to evaluate applications and adoption decisions.

Is this a technical or strategy-focused programme?

It combines both perspectives. You will gain the foundations needed to understand technologies such as quantum computing, quantum communications and quantum sensing, with a particular focus on translating this knowledge into use cases, strategy, adoption and impact.

Which quantum technologies will I explore?

The programme covers second-generation quantum technologies, including quantum sensors, quantum communications and quantum computing, as well as the main physical platforms underpinning their development.

Will I work on real-world applications?

Yes. The programme includes an applied case study in which you will analyse or design an application strategy for a real-world context, before presenting and defending your conclusions.
