Quantum Programming Workshop
We are hosting three-day long QDrive workshops on the basics of quantum computing and quantum programming sponsored by QLatvia — a Latvia quantum educating initiative of the Center for Quantum Computer Science (directed by Prof. Andris Ambainis).
Schedule (two workshops will be held in Brno):
- May 29-31 at FIT BUT, Božetechova 1/2, 612 66 Brno
- June 17-19 at FI MUNI, Botanická 68A, 602 00 Brno [KYPO (cybernetic polygon room), wing S, ground floor]
Outline:
The material prepared for the workshops is composed by around 35 Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook contains 2-5 tasks to be completed by the participants. We will use Python as the programming language and Qiskit as the main library to execute our quantum programs.
Before the workshop
The first 10 notebooks will be shared with the participants for testing their systems, reviewing the basics of Python, and reviewing vectors, matrices, and basic operations on them. Each participant should install Anaconda and Qiskit in his or her computer, and then test his or her system.
