Designed to guide learners at every stage, this education matrix maps out educational pathways ranging from introductory awareness sessions to advanced, specialised training in quantum technologies.

By bringing together workshops, masterclasses, and technical courses, the matrix helps individuals and organisations identify the right entry points and progression routes based on their background and ambitions. Whether you are new to quantum or looking to deepen your expertise, it highlights how different programmes connect and build upon each other.

As quantum technologies continue to evolve, the Education Matrix serves as a practical tool to navigate this rapidly growing field—supporting the development of a skilled workforce ready to understand, apply, and shape the future of quantum innovation.

The workshop ‘General Awareness Quantum Computing‘ is the perfect introduction to Quantum from a practical perspective. What opportunities do we foresee, and what are the risks to cybersecurity? And how long will it take before quantum computers will become available? After this 3-hour session, you will understand the essentials of currently available hardware, the most promising applications, and what concrete steps you can take today. No math involved, no prior knowledge needed! 

This program was co-developed with the major Dutch banks ING, ABN AMRO and Rabobank. However, it is not specifically aimed at financial instituations: we welcome anyone, ranging from journalists to IT staff, and from students to senior management. 

The programme Introduction to Quantum Computing is a 2-day masterclass, aimed at senior management, entrepreneurs and IT staff. Throughout two afternoons, you will hear from the Netherlands’ most prominent scientists, thought leaders and entrepreneurs about their vision on quantum technology. After the masterclass, you will be well-equipped to make strategic decisions that will help you reap the  benefits of this technology and manage its risks. It also forms an excellent opportunity for networking. 

No prior knowledge of quantum technology is required. You also do not need any in-depth knowledge of mathematics or physics. The masterclass is particularly well-suited for those involved in organisations and departments that rely heavily on ICT processes and well-optimised business operations. Examples include logistics, security, data science, finance, consultancy, health, business analytics and fintech.

Information about the upcoming editions can be found through the Amsterdam Business School.

Today’s quantum computers are already accessible over the cloud, and can be simulated using a laptop or high-performance node. How does one program a quantum computer, and what makes it so powerful? 

For an audience of skilled software developers, data scientists, and others with sufficient programming background, we teach you how to program you first quantum circuit, and how to convert an optimization problem into a quantum language.

Looking to learn more about quantum technology during your own in-house training programme? Keen to learn about quantum in a fun way, with your whole department? 

We frequently organise professional trainings that target a specific company, department or audience. The duration can range anywhere between 1 hour to several days. We usually accept groups sizes between 5 and 50 people. Choose between using your own facilities, or visit us at the inspirational Startup Village (shown to the right). Startup Village is a great location to combine a quantum course with a wide range of team building activities. 

Example topics include:

• Quantum algorithms

• Impact on cybersecurity and cryptography

• The math behind quantum computing

• Optimization and machine learning

• Quantum networks and the quantum internet
