The world of tech continues to advance, whether we like it or not. Now, general tech specialists must overcome a new hurdle: How to learn quantum computing theory and apply it to business.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To see exactly what that journey might look like, we caught up with our academic coordinator Ester de Nicol\u00e1s<\/a> to find out how the new quantum computing specialization on the Master in Computer Science & Business Technology<\/a> is demystifying this exciting new technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let’s get into it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does quantum computing work?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Ester is no stranger to innovation. She has over 20 years of experience across microelectronics, robotics and AI<\/a>. Her latest area of focus is quantum computing, which has sparked a personal interest. \u201cFor me, it\u2019s about giving back after years of intense work in this field,\u201d says Ester. \u201cIE <\/a>is the kind of place that can make a long-term impact, not only in Spain but globally. That\u2019s why I\u2019m thrilled to be part of shaping this program and helping students prepare for the future.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To explain how quantum computing works, Ester starts with why it\u2019s needed. \u201cA lot of people misunderstand quantum computing as just faster or more powerful computing, but that\u2019s not accurate,\u201d she says. \u201cIt\u2019s a fundamentally different type of computing, useful for very specific problems\u2014not something that replaces classical computing. Classical machines rely on transistors that switch between ones and zeros, but nature doesn\u2019t work that way. Nature is analog, continuous and complex. Quantum computing<\/a> reflects that reality by working with quantum states, which can represent many values between one and zero and compute on probabilities.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This shift opens the door to simulations classical systems can\u2019t handle.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cQuantum computers can tackle problems like molecular simulation, which are practically impossible on classical machines,\u201d says Ester. That’s why companies are experimenting with different approaches, such as the use of superconducting qubits, trapped ions, neutral atoms and more. The goal, however, is the same: To model quantum mechanics with quantum particles. And Ester deftly equates this to ripples in water: \u201cEach pebble creates waves that interact. A quantum algorithm works like that, producing interference patterns we can measure. Importantly, quantum computing doesn\u2019t stand alone. It works alongside classical computing, with quantum processing units acting as accelerators. The future of computing is hybrid.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why is quantum computing important?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Building an ecosystem of talent in the field of quantum computing is essential. And that’s true even though it’s still in an experimental stage. \u201cWe don\u2019t yet have what we call \u2018practical quantum advantage\u2019\u2014a situation where quantum solves a useful problem in a way that\u2019s better than classical,” says Ester. \u201cThat day is coming soon. But, for now, most use cases are about refining algorithms, testing what\u2019s possible and preparing.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While trying to learn quantum computing all sounds theoretical, it will soon have very real benefits. \u201cIf we can compute in the language of nature, we can unlock breakthroughs in chemistry. And chemistry underpins 96% of manufactured products,\u201d Ester says. \u201cThink about it: Drugs, clothes, materials. Everything we interact with relies on chemistry and material science. Humanity has named entire eras after materials\u2014the Bronze Age, the Iron Age, now the Silicon Era. With quantum combined with AI, we could discover new materials, clean microplastics from the ocean, design better medicines\u2014or even accelerate the search for cures to diseases like cancer.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s not only general humanity that will benefit from quantum leaps. Early-adopting businesses will also gain huge ground in the market: \u201cThe countries and companies that adopt this technology first will gain huge advantages. Now is the tipping point. Now is the best time to start.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How can I learn quantum computing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Now, alongside her role as Senior Director of Product Management at Microsoft Quantum<\/a>, Ester is directing our new specialization to help you learn quantum computing the right way. You\u2019ll study the foundations of quantum mechanics applied to computing, learn how quantum states and algorithms work, and understand the hardware approaches currently being tested\u2014from superconducting qubits to trapped ions and beyond. By the end, you\u2019ll know not only where the field stands today but also where it is heading.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The specialization also prepares you to find your place in the ecosystem. You\u2019ll explore every layer of the stack: hardware design for those drawn to physics and engineering; software for students eager to work on algorithms and integration with classical systems; applications in areas like chemistry, life sciences, or materials science; and the business dimension, where you\u2019ll analyze economic value chains and the strategic impact of quantum technology. Each track equips you with the vocabulary and skills to work confidently across disciplines and collaborate with experts from different fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

\u201cStudents will leave with a clear understanding of the state of the art in quantum computing, where the field is heading, and what\u2019s needed to move it forward.\u201d<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\n
\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Ester emphasizes the centrality of real-world application across all teaching. That’s why you\u2019ll work on applied projects that mirror real-world challenges. \u201cAt the technical level, some people will need deep training in physics and math to design hardware. Others will focus on software\u2014quantum algorithms and how they integrate with classical systems. Scientists in chemistry or materials science will need to phrase their research questions so quantum machines can answer them. And on the business side, leaders need to understand the economic value, the digital transformation<\/a> required, and how to place their organizations in this new value chain.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the challenges of quantum computing?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, the proliferation of quantum computing will bring its own set of challenges. \u201cQuantum computers<\/a> will be excellent at prime factorization,” says Ester. “But that also means they could break today\u2019s encryption. This can be solved through post-quantum cryptography, but it requires planning and global coordination now. The harder ethical issue is dual use: the same quantum simulation that could cure cancer could also create more effective poisons. Then there\u2019s the geopolitical question\u2014ensuring this technology doesn\u2019t widen divides between countries or communities. We need to make sure it creates abundance for all, not exclusivity for a few.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
\n

The future puts the need to learn quantum computing front and center\u2014allowing us to reshape society for the better.<\/h3>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn 15 or 20 years, I see a world where quantum computing has helped us clean pollution from the air and plastics from the ocean,” says Ester. “We’ll use it to design sustainable materials, cure diseases we can\u2019t cure today, and better understand fundamental processes like photosynthesis. If we use this technology responsibly, the world could be cleaner, safer and healthier.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
