Department of Computational Studies / BCA Quantum Computing
The Bachelor of Computer Application in Quantum Computing is a four-year honours programme that offers an advanced interdisciplinary curriculum for students seeking expertise at the intersection of physics, mathematics, and modern computing. It provides a strong foundation in quantum mechanics, quantum information theory, quantum algorithms, and the principles of quantum hardware–software integration.
Students explore practical applications such as quantum cryptography, optimisation techniques, and quantum simulation, enabling them to address complex real-world challenges. A notable feature of the programme is its integration with the IBM Quantum ecosystem, where learners engage with IBM’s training modules and gain hands-on experience through the Qiskit platform. After successful completion of four years, students are awarded an Honours degree; they may exit after three years with a Bachelor’s degree.
Core computing, linear algebra and quantum mechanics with specialised training in quantum algorithms, cryptography and simulation.
Direct integration with the IBM Quantum ecosystem and hands-on quantum programming through the Qiskit platform.
Four-year Honours degree with the option to exit after three years with a Bachelor’s degree.
Graduates are equipped for roles as quantum software developers, quantum algorithm researchers, cryptography specialists, simulation engineers, and technology consultants across deep-tech industries, defence, and global research laboratories.
