EXECUTIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

THE QUANTUM ECONOMY

Application of quantum technologies in business

PROGRAM
DESCRIPTION

This program is a shorter version of our Master in Quantum Technologies program and offers a condensed version of the curriculum in an executive education format.

In this program participants will learn the foundations of quantum physics and its applications on computing, economy and finance, organisational design and new business models. Participants will explore the potential of quantum technologies to address pressing challenges of mankind through the use of for example quantum algorithms and (hybrid) quantum computing to solve complex problems.

Quantum technology is destined to be the most profoundly transformative technology that humans have ever uncovered. It will transform our way of life, both socially and economically, in ways that we can‘t yet fully grasp. Unprecedentedly dynamic, it’s poised to address problems spanning all present industries, making the impossible possible.

Participants will acquire the skills managers and leaders need, in order to shape the future of the economy by applying quantum concepts in your (business) decision-making and leadership along the philosophical implications of quantum theory.

By the end of the course, participants will have a foundational understanding of quantum technologies, their underlying physics and its practical applications in business, society and politics – shaping the Quantum Economy.

THE EXPERIENCE

EXPERIENCE-BASED APPROACH

Hands-on, practical experience. GILT programs are designed to encourage active engagement in the subject matter. This includes a variety of activities such as experiments, design sprints, observations, reflections, interactive workshops, and prototyping to name a few.

SKILL-BASED FOCUS

The Positive Progress Education Model, developed by GILT, forms the backbone of all GILT programs. Next to the actual content, GILT programs always focus on the development of leadership and technology skills and encourage bold, unconventional thinking.

WORLD-CLASS FACULTY

Practitioners, management and leadership thinkers, artists, and philosophers. GILT programs are taught by leading industry experts, renowned academics, proven entrepreneurs, and exceptional thinkers. GILTs hand-picked global faculty will not only share their direct and practical knowledge but also provide personal insights and experiences from their various fields of work.

ACTIONABLE KNOWLEDGE

Designed to take action and get things done. Discuss and debate the most pressing challenges and co-create solutions with a selected group of peers. GILT programs focus on practical application and are designed to explore fresh ideas and develop new solutions.

CONNECTING A COMMUNITY

GILT has been training executives and individuals from all walks of life in over a hundred countries. GILT programs are designed to connect participants within the program and offer exposure to the broader community and ecosystem of global change makers.

CASE STUDIES

Each week, guest lecturers share current case studies of cutting-edge projects. GILT programs are enriched with case studies on emerging technologies such as blockchain and quantum, social and impact initiatives, and new business models—hands-on from leaders to leaders.

PROGRAM CURRICULUM

MODULE ONE

QUANTUM GOODS AND SERVICES

In the “Quantum Goods & Services” block, participants will explore use-cases and current developments of quantum technologies. This includes the current state of development and production of quantum hardware, software, and other products and services that make use of quantum mechanics. Participants will be exposed to a variety of software solutions for quantum computing, such as development tools and programming languages, as well as the development of quantum consulting services. This block also offers a “market overview” section that provides an overview of the quantum technology landscape including current applications and an exploration of the most advanced developments.

MODULE TWO

QUANTUM ECONOMICS, FINANCE AND MONEY

The “Quantum Economics, Finance and Money” block explores the impact of quantum technologies on financial and economic systems. This includes cryptography, security, and risk management, as well as the development of new financial instruments and investment strategies. Quantum economics applies the principles of quantum mechanics to model economic systems and behaviour, using game theory and quantum computing to optimise economic systems. Additionally, quantum economics is exploring new ways of thinking about economic decision-making using quantum probability theory and the use of quantum algorithms as well as the future of digital currencies.

MODULE THREE

QUANTUM ORGANISATION

The “Quantum Organisation” focuses on the potential impact of (quantum) technologies on organisations, including leadership, management and decision-making, and aims to develop new models and methods for improving organisational performance. The use of quantum-inspired algorithms to solve complex organisational problems is a practical area of interest, as is the transfer of quantum physics principles to organisational structures for greater agility, adaptability, and resilience creating dynamic organisations. The field is also exploring new ways of thinking about organisational culture and identity. The “Quantum Organisation” block explores research and educational principles, and expands into leadership development and strategic management.

MODULE FOUR

QUANTUM HUMAN

This block applies quantum mechanics principles to model complex cognitive processes, potentially leading to a new understanding of what it means to be a human in the age of exponential technologies, in which Human-Machine interaction is becoming the norm and more and more human tasks are getting replaced by machines. Additionally, “Quantum Human” examines the impact of quantum technologies on human health, cognition, and behaviour, including quantum biology, quantum neuroscience, and quantum psychology. “Quantum Human” explores the intersection of art, philosophy, and quantum physics to examine human behaviour, decision-making, cognition, and consciousness.
