Unit Overview
- Description
Students are informed of, and practise, scientific communication appropriate to Quantum Technology and Computing. Practice seminars are given throughout the semester and are critiqued by members of the assigned research group. Exposure to the practical tools and the professional standards needed to develop and present a research seminar equips students with the tools required for the preparation and presentation of their research topic.
Students practice and perform scientific writing, data analysis, code documentation, and present their final research outcomes in a Dissertation.

- The availability of units in Semester 1, 2, etc. was correct at the time of publication but may be subject to change.
- All students are responsible for identifying when they need assistance to improve their academic learning, research, English language and numeracy skills; seeking out the services and resources available to help them; and applying what they learn. Students are encouraged to register for free online support through GETSmart; to help themselves to the extensive range of resources on UWA's STUDYSmarter website; and to participate in WRITESmart and (ma+hs)Smart drop-ins and workshops.
- Visit the Essential Textbooks website to see if any textbooks are required for this Unit. The website is updated regularly so content may change. Students are recommended to purchase Essential Textbooks, but a limited number of copies of all Essential Textbooks are held in the Library in print, and as an ebook where possible. Recommended readings for the unit can be accessed in Unit Readings directly through the Learning Management System (LMS).
