QUB1: Quantum Bootcamp

Presentation Abstract
The field of quantum computing relies heavily on the advancements in microwave technology. However, a gap exists between the microwave engineering community and the quantum research effort. To bridge this divide and propel the quantum industry forward, it is crucial to cultivate a new generation of engineers proficient in both microwave engineering and quantum physics. These multidisciplinary experts will be essential in driving innovation in quantum sensing, communication, and the control of quantum computing platforms, particularly those based on superconducting qubits. Initiatives like the Quantum Boot Camp aim to address this need by providing microwave engineers with foundational knowledge in quantum engineering, emphasizing the design, fabrication, control, and measurement of quantum systems. By equipping engineers with this expertise, the program seeks to empower them to contribute meaningfully to this rapidly evolving technological landscape. The program caters to a diverse audience, including recent graduates, career changers, and marketing professionals, all seeking to deepen their understanding of quantum technology and its practical implications.
