In this workshop, we will program a gate-based quantum computer provided by IBM. After a short introduction to quantum physics (only the stuff we need for programming), we’ll jump right in:
We will program three small examples on IBM’s freely accessible Quantum platform, illustrating both the limitations and the potential of quantum computers.
The workshop is suitable for absolute beginners — no prior knowledge of any programming language is required.
After the workshop, you will have a solid understanding of how such a machine works - and whether we really need to start worrying about Q-Day already. Please bring your laptop. You can sign up for IBM Quantum in advance (https://quantum.cloud.ibm.com/), but it’s also possible to participate without an account using the quantum simulator.
