Quantum Information and Computing (QIC) courses have been offered at the University of Waterloo since 1999-2000. Over time, the number and breadth of courses have substantially increased.
These courses can be taken as part of a wide range of Waterloo's graduate and undergraduate programs. Many QIC courses are cross listed or held with other departments. In such cases, you can choose which section to enrol in. The sections are equivalent, and any course cross listed or held with a QIC course will count towards the QIC course requirements.
Descriptions for all QIC courses are available in the graduate calendar and class scheduling information is available through the Schedule of Classes for Graduate Students.
