Learn quantum from QIM engineers who are building real quantum machines. Choose Computing, Hardware, or both, and join two weeks of live classes followed by a hands-on hackathon.
The cohort starts on July 9, 2026. Seats are confirmed on a first-come, first-served basis.
Experience the program before you register
Join a live 2-hour session led by QIM engineers who work on real quantum systems. You'll see how the classes are taught, what topics are covered, and whether the program is the right fit for you, before making any payment.
No payment · No commitment
For BSc/MSc students and graduates with basic linear algebra and quantum mechanics who want to connect theory with real quantum technologies.
For developers interested in quantum algorithms, quantum software, Qiskit/Cirq, and hybrid classical-quantum systems.
For electrical, electronics, and RF engineers who want to enter quantum hardware, cryogenic systems, and qubit control.
For academics who want to bridge theoretical knowledge with industry-grade quantum system design.
Each track taught by QIM engineers who build real quantum systems. Theory meets hardware, every session.
Build your foundation in quantum mechanics, linear algebra, gates, circuits, and algorithms. Learn how quantum information is represented, how quantum circuits are built, and the principles behind key quantum algorithms. No prior quantum experience required.
What you'll learn
Learn how real quantum machines are designed, controlled, and operated. This track introduces superconducting qubits, cryogenic systems, control electronics, qubit readout, calibration techniques, and system integration.
What you'll learn
Master both the software and hardware dimensions of quantum. Algorithms & Programming runs 6–7 PM IST, Hardware Design runs 7–8 PM IST — zero overlap, complete coverage.
After two weeks of live instruction, Week 3 is where you turn concepts into execution. You'll work on a quantum engineering benchmark challenge inspired by the kind of problems QIM engineers solve in real-world systems.
Depending on cohort size, you'll complete the challenge individually or in a small team. You'll build a solution, demo your work, and present your approach to members of the QIM team. Any work you create during the hackathon remains yours.
Work on a benchmark problem inspired by real QIM engineering workflows, scoped to the concepts covered in the program.
Get mentorship from QIM engineers throughout the week to help you unblock issues and sharpen your approach.
Present your solution, explain your thinking, and receive feedback from members of the QIM team.
Projects will be reviewed based on technical depth, creativity, clarity of execution, and practical problem-solving.
Anything you build during the hackathon remains yours to keep, showcase, and build upon.
Top hackathon performers will receive an additional Hackathon Achievement Certificate in recognition of their performance in the hackathon. This digitally signed certificate is awarded at QIM Academy's discretion, based on evaluation of technical depth, creativity, clarity of execution, and practical problem-solving.
Our instructors don't just teach quantum — they build it. Every session draws from active research at QuantumIntegrated Machines.
PhD in Physics for Quantum Information from IIT Hyderabad. 5 years Quantum Information and Quantum Foundation experience. Leads QIM's Foundation Program team.
M.Tech Quantum and Solid State Devices, IIT Hyderabad. Specialises in dilution refrigerator design and millikelvin. Previously worked at the Niels Bohr Institute Research team.
M.Tech Quantum and Solid State Devices, IIT Hyderabad. Expert in quantum software and quantum algorithm design. Built firmware for India's field-deployed QKD.
No. For the Quantum Algorithms & Programming track, a basic understanding of linear algebra and probability is sufficient. For the Quantum Hardware Design track, familiarity with electromagnetism and circuits is recommended.
We start with the fundamentals and guide you step by step through the core concepts.
The sessions are taught live by QIM engineers, giving you the opportunity to ask questions and interact directly during class.
Recordings will be available for 90 days, allowing you to catch up on missed sessions or revisit the material at any time.
Weeks 1 and 2 focus on live instruction, with approximately 15–20 hours of learning, including classes and recommended reading.
In Week 3, you'll put your skills into practice through a hands-on hackathon centered on a guided quantum engineering challenge.
Yes. Select "Both Tracks" during registration. Sessions are scheduled with no overlap. Combined fee: ₹4,499 (₹500 off).
Complete your registration and payment to confirm your seat. Within 24 hours of confirmation, you'll receive onboarding details, class access information, and calendar invites.
Yes. You can request a full refund within 7 days of payment, provided your request reaches us at least 7 days before the cohort start date and you haven't yet accessed any session, recording, or course material.
Refunds aren't available in the final 7 days before the start or after the course begins. See our Terms & Conditions for full details.
Yes. Every participant who completes all live sessions and fulfils the programme requirements receives a digitally signed QIM Academy Course Completion Certificate. This certificate recognises completion of the full QIM Academy programme — it is awarded for your engagement with the curriculum, not for proficiency in any specific tool, software, or platform.
Top performers and winners of the Week 3 Hackathon receive an additional digitally signed Hackathon Achievement Certificate, recognising exceptional performance in the capstone challenge.
Both certificates are issued in digital format only and can be added to your LinkedIn profile and shared professionally. Physical certificates are not provided.
