• Use the results obtained in the quantum measurement process for the characterization of a system.
• Design, compose and analyze quantum circuits for their application to real problems.
• Suggest and solve cost functions associated with optimization problems.
• Identify the most suitable programming model for quantum projects for solving a problem.
• Compare and translate algorithms between different quantum project programming models.
• Modify, correct and adapt existing quantum algorithms to solve a specific problem within a project.
• Generate new quantum algorithms, including their translation into programmatic notation and visualization of results for use in the scope of a project.
• Carry out estimation calculations on the scope of precision in a quantum circuit.
• Propose error correction solutions based on the knowledge acquired for different platforms.
• Program and use a quantum simulator for the prior validation of solutions within a project.
• Apply quantum processing mechanisms on intensive computing environments such as Neural Networks, or through Quantum Machine Learning techniques.
• Propose communication and cryptography systems using quantum processing concepts.
• Apply the knowledge acquired in the Master's degree in order to develop, expose and defend an academic or research project in the area of specific Quantum Computing technologies.

The routes and requirements for admission to the Master's level teachings are those set out in Royal Decree 1393/2007 of October 29, with subsequent modification in Royal Decree 861/2010, of July 2, which establishes the organization of official university teachings.
