This isn’t science fiction. It’s a promise of quantum technologies, and they’re closer than you think. Hi, I’m Dr. Nayyar Zaidi, and I’m the course director for emerging technologies micro-credentials at Deakin University. Quantum computing is one of the key units in this programme. Quantum technologies are reshaping what’s possible across industries. But to lead in this space, you need more than buzzwords. You need the insight to know what’s real, what’s useful, and what’s next.
Skip to 0 minutes and 49 seconds In this unit, we will explore the fundamental principles behind quantum technology, the role of quantum algorithms in key sectors like finance, optimization, and cyber security and how to evaluate and apply these technologies within real world business contexts. You will engage with case studies that illustrate the rapidly growing influence of quantum innovations across industries, and you will use creative inquiry, design thinking, and human-centred approaches to explore how quantum systems could be adapted and adopted within your own field. This isn’t about becoming a quantum physicist. It’s about developing the mindset and strategic understanding to make smart decisions in a quantum-powered economy.
Skip to 1 minute and 39 seconds Whether you’re looking to gain a competitive edge, spark innovation in your team, or simply prepare for the next wave of digital transformation, this micro-credential will give you the tools to think critically, lead confidently, and act decisively in the quantum era. This is more than just a tech overview. It’s your on-ramp to the next revolution in computing, communication, and intelligence. Join us and discover what quantum could mean for your industry, your organisation, and of course, your future.
