Description
Several formal initiatives, universities, and research institutions are working on quantum computing education in South Africa. This study explores the availability of quantum computing courses and educational resources for quantum computing students in South Africa, assessing their target levels, educational prerequisites, structure, and content.
The investigation identifies offerings from universities, online platforms, and research institutions, categorising them by complexity: introductory, intermediate, or advanced.
Prerequisite knowledge in linear algebra, programming, and quantum mechanics is analysed to determine accessibility. Course structures (e.g., lectures, workshops, hands-on projects) and core topics (e.g., qubits, quantum algorithms, error correction) are examined to evaluate pedagogical approaches. The findings aim to guide prospective learners
and highlight the gaps in South Africa’s quantum education landscape.
