When you think of quantum computing, chances are, if you’re looking to take a university course on the subject, that you’re not looking for one within the country. Fortunately, there is now an in-country option, with Universiti Teknikal Malaysia Melaka (UTeM) being the first local university to offer it. The course in question is the Bachelor of Computer Science (Quantum Computing Technology), with the program having successfully passed the screening stage earlier this month. Massila added that the program is designed to produce graduates with both theoretical knowledge and practical skills in quantum computing tech, while also meeting the growing demand in Malaysia for experts in the field. She also said that the initiative will strengthen UTeM’s position as a leader in technical and advanced tech education as well as serving as a catalyst for the growth of Malaysia’s quantum computing research.
