From qubit to the strange phenomenon of intrication, we offer an interactive micro-WIL to familiarize you with quantum computing, often described as the computing that will solve problems that can never be solved on a conventional computer. 

Please note: 

It will be preferable for students to already have an account on the IBM Q Experience prior to the course (but not mandatory).

Noted:

It will be preferable for students to already have an account on the IBM Q Experience prior to the training (though not required).

The workshop will cover :

• An introduction to basic concepts in quantum computing including
  • overlay
  • entanglement
  • interference
  • measure

• Programming on an IBM quantum computer including practical exercises and the following topics
  • NOT Door
  • Hadamard Door
  • Door Z
  • CNOT Door
  • Quantum Teleportation Algorithm

Format: 

• 100% virtual
• Free
• In English
• Only one registration per candidate is allowed for this micro-WIL, either for the activity in French or in English. Double applications are prohibited. For the French activity, please refer to the "micro-WIL" tab and select the activity in French.
