In this course, the researchers focused on the application of quantum AI in solving cybersecurity challenges. Dr. Mashrur \u2018Ronnie\u2019 Chowdhury co-instructed this course which was a part of the CSC 338 course offered this spring by the Computer Science, Physics and Engineering Department of Benedict College. The four-week-long quantum AI modules were a part of the semester-long course offered by Dr. Gurcan Comert (C<sup>2<\/sup>M<sup>2<\/sup> Associate Director). Along with Dr. Chowdhury, Dr. Sakib Mahmud Khan (C<sup>2<\/sup>M<sup>2<\/sup> Assistant Director), MD Zadid Khan (C<sup>2<\/sup>M<sup>2<\/sup> researcher), and Reek Majumder (C<sup>2<\/sup>M<sup>2<\/sup> researcher) introduced different modules related to quantum AI, which were aimed at teaching students to design, develop and experiment with different quantum AI models. Students conducted hands-on exercises and completed a final project related to transportation cybersecurity based on the knowledge gained through the course. Feedback from this course was very positive with one participant stating that &#8220;It made me want to go to graduate school and study AI.&#8221; This course was also supported by the newly established C<sup>2<\/sup>M<sup>2<\/sup> Quantum AI Lab led by Benedict College and we expect it to be the first of many quantum AI courses developed and offered by our Center.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers from the Center for Connected Multimodal Mobility (C2M2), as a part of the center\u2019s technology transfer activities, introduced the fundamentals of Quantum Artificial Intelligence (AI) to the students of Benedict College and other partner institutions in March of 2021&#8230;. <a href=\"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/c2m2-launches-first-quantum-ai-course-module\/\" class=\"readmore\">Read more<span class=\"screen-reader-text\">&#8220;It made me want to go to graduate school and study AI.&#8221;- C2M2 Wraps First Quantum AI Course<\/span><span class=\"fa fa-angle-double-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\"><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":12,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7127","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news","content-layout-excerpt-thumb"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7127","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/12"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7127"}],"version-history":[{"count":11,"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7127\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7306,"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7127\/revisions\/7306"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7127"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7127"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/cecas.clemson.edu\/C2M2\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7127"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
