As quantum computing moves from theory to reality, its transformative potential demands policymakers’ attention.

You don’t need to be a scientist to help shape the future of quantum. This self-paced course offers a clear and accessible introduction to the foundational principles of quantum technology and its potential impact on government and industry.

You’ll learn how quantum computers work, what they can and can’t do today, and the breakthroughs they could enable in the future. You’ll explore the unique challenges and opportunities quantum computing presents, and examine the critical role of government in fostering innovation and supporting responsible quantum development.

By the end of the course, you’ll be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to contribute meaningfully to discussions about quantum computing and start to prepare for a quantum future.

By the end of this course, you will be able to:

Understand the foundational principles of quantum computing and discuss why it’s such an important technology.
Determine the current state of quantum computing.
Identify the relevant questions to assess claims about future development.
Discover quantum's potential impact in different fields.
Explain the roles government has to play both in helping the technology develop responsibly and preparing for its impact.

Our courses will help you get ahead in government. We take a highly practical approach to learning: we combine bitesize theory lessons with tools and resources you can use right away. You'll also learn from your peers in the Apolitical community, through discussion forums and live events.
