R ather than waiting for quantum computing to fully mature, enterprises should concentrate on testing the technology and becoming ready as soon as possible. We have already reviewed how they should get ready for the downsides of quantum computing security risks by creating a strategy to update their encryption schemes.

Quantum technologies are changing the way we compute, communicate, and solve problems. However, many students don’t get a chance to learn about this exciting field. Quantum Spark is a program designed to spark interest and build basic knowledge about quantum science through easy-to-understand lessons, fun activities, and real-life examples. It introduces concepts like superposition, quantum algorithms, and quantum security in a simple and engaging way. The goal is to help students think creatively and get ready for the future of technology by connecting what they learn in classrooms with real-world innovations.

Quantum computing is an emerging paradigm that opens a new era for exponential computational speedup. Still, quantum computers have yet to be ready for commercial use. However, it is essential to train and qualify today the workforce that will develop quantum acceleration solutions to get the quantum advantage in the future. This tutorial gives a broad view of quantum computing, abstracting most of the mathematical formalism and proposing a hands-on with the quantum programming language Ket. The target audience is undergraduate and graduate students starting in quantum computing -- no prerequisites for following this tutorial.
