Questions, answered
Is the Academy self-paced?
Yes. The course is online and free, and live sessions are recorded so you work through lectures and labs on your own schedule.
Live or asynchronous?
Lectures are live and recorded, so you can revisit them anytime. Labs are asynchronous Jupyter Notebook assignments you work through on your own schedule.
How much time does it take?
Plan 10 hours for the Business Track, and 15 hours plus a capstone project for the Technical Track. Sessions run 60 to 90 minutes each. Templates and a guided recipe carry you through the parts that would otherwise assume a quantum background.
Do I run on real quantum hardware?
Labs run on simulators. Hardware credits can be purchased on demand through the Kipu Quantum Hub across 7 QPU vendors.
How does certification work?
The certificate program is selective and graded: Business requires delivering a short quantum-centric pitch, Technical requires completing the lab assignments and presenting a working application. It is included for Team plan and higher on the Kipu Quantum Hub. It is permanent, and both tracks award Level 1 of 3 in the Kipu Academy pathway.
