We explore the intersection of quantum technologies and sustainability. Topics: 1) GESDA and open quantum institute initiative on UN Sustainable Goal Developments; 2) Fundamental aspects of thermodynamics of computation; 3) Analysis and benchmarks of energy consumption in current and near term real quantum devices and discussion of classical computing challenges; 4) Projects on use cases through personal student work.

This course provides students with a broad view of the diverse aspects of the field: quantum physics, communication, computation, simulation, quantum hardware technologies. The course is an overview and introduction to frontiers of the domain. It is taught by multiple instructors.
