Multiverse Computing, a quantum software company, is partnering with Université de Sherbrooke (UdeS) to develop quantum computing educational materials and prepare students for careers in the field. The collaboration will give UdeS students access to Multiverse’s Singularity quantum computing software-as-a-service platform for testing and development. The partnership aims to address the shortage of qualified quantum candidates, with McKinsey predicting that less than 50% of quantum computing jobs will be filled by 2025 without significant interventions. The Singularity platform uses quantum algorithms to solve real-world challenges and includes user-friendly features like Microsoft Excel plug-ins.
The collaboration will support the work already being done by UdeS to train highly qualified talent in quantum computing. Both partners are committed to identifying joint research educational projects and collaborating to advance quantum computing. They will also leverage student feedback on Multiverse Computing’s software to develop quantum computing educational material further.
“We’re honoured to be selected by UdeS to accelerate the understanding of quantum computing and quantum-inspired technologies in the classroom and beyond,”
Mehdi Bozzo-Rey, Chief Revenue Officer at Multiverse Computing.
Singularity Platform Enhances Quantum Learning
The Singularity platform by Multiverse Computing will enable students to visualise how quantum computing can solve complex problems. This will advance their understanding of the technology and potential real-world applications, providing them with attractive skills for the numerous high-skill jobs offer in this area. The Singularity platform uses quantum and quantum-inspired algorithms to solve real-world challenges for large enterprises.
Among other features, Singularity’s user interface incorporates familiar tools such as Microsoft Excel plug-ins. This allows using the platform’s core algorithms without prior experience with quantum computing. IESE Business School also uses the platform in its Master in Management (MiM) program to demonstrate how quantum algorithms can solve problems more efficiently than classical algorithms.
“More specifically, Multiverse Computing’s Singularity platform will enable students to visualize how quantum computing can solve complex problems, advancing their understanding of the technology and potential real-world applications and providing them with attractive skills for the numerous high skill jobs offer in this area,”
Sarah Blanchette, executive director of the Quantum Information Science Bachelor’s at UdeS.
Quantum Job Market and Skills Gap
According to consulting firm McKinsey, only one qualified quantum candidate is available for every three quantum job openings. By 2025, the firm predicts that less than 50 per cent of quantum computing jobs will be filled unless significant interventions occur. This collaboration between Multiverse Computing and UdeS is one such intervention, aiming to prepare students for the growing demand in the quantum job market.
Multiverse Computing’s Role in Quantum Education
Multiverse Computing is committed to accelerating the understanding of quantum computing and quantum-inspired technologies in the classroom and beyond. The company’s robust and unique Singularity platform is seen as the perfect tool to enhance student learning of quantum computing.
Multiverse Computing is a quantum software company that applies quantum and quantum-inspired solutions to tackle complex problems in finance. The company’s expertise in quantum algorithms and quantum-inspired algorithms means it can secure maximum results from current quantum devices and classical high-performance computers. Its flagship product, Singularity, allows professionals across all industries to leverage quantum computing with standard software tools. The company also serves companies in the mobility, energy, life sciences and industry 4.0 sectors.
“We are thrilled to add Multiverse to our partners for the training of BSc candidates in quantum information science at UdeS. This is enhancing our efforts to offer optimal experience learning to our students and makes perfect sense with respect to the fast development of DISTRIQ, the quantum innovation zone born in Sherbrooke,”
Vincent Aimez, Vice President of Partnerships and Knowledge Transfer at UdeS.
