Introduction to Quantum Programming

What is a quantum computer, what can it do, how does it work?
How can I write my own programs and run them on IBM's quantum computer?

If you wonder about these questions, have had some experience with linear algebra, a touch of quantum physics, and basic familiarity with python, this 3-day free workshop at Eötvös Loránd University by QLatvia could be for you! We encourage students with a basic knowledge of quantum mechanics to apply, from all levels (BSc, MSc, PhD). Applications from senior researchers and outside of academia are also welcome.

The workshop is part of QDrive, with classes given in English by Latvian quantum programmers, and is hosted by the Eötvös Loránd University Budapest, with local support from the Budapest University of Technology and Economics and the Wigner Research Centre for Physics of the Hungarian Academy of Sciences.

“Quantum programming workshop travelling to your city - reaching 400 participants, by driving 20.000 km through 20 countries in 100 days.”

The workshops cover 40 Jupyter notebooks, with 2-5 tasks each. Participants should have Anaconda and Qiskit installed on their own computers, and test their own system, using 12 notebooks which will be shared with them before the workshop (reviewing the basics of Python, vectors, matrices, and basic operations). Bring your own laptops to the workshop, or use the desktop computers we provide.

Accepting post-deadline registrations for either workshop

Due to the great interest in "QDrive Budapest", we have organized a second workshop - same instructors, same conditions, on the week after the first one. As a result, there are still places, so if interested, please apply to either workshop by filling out the online application form. There is no registration fee for this event - the workshop is free - but the number of participants in each workshop is limited to 24.
