NOTE: *** All aspects of this course are subject to change; this is a trial run for an eventual university course ***

QISC Course Description: In this two-week graduate seminar course students will learn the connections between machine learning, quantum physics, quantum computing and related fields. They will conduct literature reviews and present an original research topic as a proposal or a critical analysis of an existing topic based on the review

Student Learning Outcomes and Assessments:
From this course, successful students will be able to:

1. Select a topic of relevance to their machine learning area, drawing on different theories, perspectives and past research studies and methods.

(Please read the following article prior to the first day of the class and then select a topic.
A non-review of Quantum Machine Learning: trends and explorations
https://quantum-journal.org/views/qv-2020-03-17-32/)

2. On the first day, we will review and critically evaluate published research in machine learning, quantum computing and related disciplines.

3. On the second day, the students will present their materials.

Assessment of the course will be based on the participation and presentation of the students.

This is a university-like, 2-week preparatory, university-graduate-level course for individuals who:
1) are planning to **apply** to a university quantum-oriented Master degree program; or
2) have been **accepted** into a formal, university, masters degree program and starting their courses in the coming months.

This course will prepare you for beginning a masters degree program, it is **not** a quantum technology course....we save that material for your for-credit degree course, whichever university you ultimately attend. The topics within are aligned with the entry requirements and expectations of the quantum technology master degree programs at several universities from around the globe. The purpose of this course is to close any skill gaps an individual may have when entering a master degree program.

Scheduled Class Meetings:
Saturday, December 11, 2021 09:30-11:30 [USA/Eastern] [19:00 India]
Saturday, December 18, 2021 09:30-11:30 [USA/Eastern] [19:00 India]

Students' knowledge-level are expected to be at least in their last two years of a university undergraduate degree. College graduates from "years ago" are, of course, invited as we are looking to **prepare** individuals for a Master Degree in a Quantum-related technology. The curriculum of this course is based directly from the program prerequisites expected the programs in this list: https://masterdegrees.tryquantum.org/

This course consists of assignment-based, activity-oriented, graduate-level, university-like lectures, assignments, and projects. These weekly live sessions will not available for replay to the public.

A certificate of completion will be provided to students who complete the program and the assessment exams. A certificate of Participation Course lecture weekly attendance will be taken and reported in the competition certificate. These certificates are a powerful way to beef-up your degree application; we are in direct conversation with numerous master degree programs to formalize this concept.

There is no fee associated with enrolling in this course...it is free to you; however, you are expected to be doing the work!
