Foundations for Quantum Programming

LMSCourseImage_FOUNDATIONS_530x355.jpg

This online course is an optional prerequisite for the Quantum Programming Core training. It supports the math and Python skills needed to successfully complete Quantum Programming Core and use D-Wave annealing quantum computers to solve optimization problems. Learners who successfully complete this course will better understand how to determine optimization problem objectives, define problem variables, and represent problems mathematically, graphically, and programmatically.

Course materials include recorded presentations, quizzes, and programming activities. The course requires approximately 10 hours to complete.

Learners have access to this course for 30 days from the date of registration. For website purchases, learners are registered upon completion of the purchase transaction, or in the case of gift purchases, the learner is registered upon accepting the gift through the link provided in the gift email.

  • Identify optimization problem objectives and variables.
  • Represent problem objectives as math expressions.
  • Represent problem constraints as equalities and inequalities.
  • Convert problem constraints to penalty expressions.
  • Combine optimization problem objectives and constraints into an appropriate QUBO function.
  • Represent algebraic functions graphically and using matrices.
  • Write basic Python programs to represent, setup, and organize optimization problems.
