Time to start the Global Workshop!

Today, November 23, we are starting our first Global Quantum Programming Workshop | QBronze! This is the final and the largest workshop organized as part of QWorldChallenge2020 Autumn Edition. More than seven hundred participants from 72 countries are taking part in the workshop! Starting from today, for the following 6 days participants will learn the basics of quantum computing and quantum programming based on the introductory material Bronze prepared by QWorld. The scope of the workshop covers preliminaries of quantum computing, implementation of basic quantum protocols, and algorithms. Participants will be completing the tutorial with the mentoring support through Discord as well as the live sessions which will be conducted by the QWorld team. Participants are offered 2 different time zones to join the live sessions and get live mentoring…

QIntern 2020 was successfully completed!

QWorld

We are happy to announce that we organized our first QIntern program during July-August 2020! This pilot program of QWorld ran for seven weeks, during which the participants, including students, worked with more experienced researchers and quantum technology enthusiasts. At the end of the event, the interns from over thirteen projects had the opportunity to present their works. The projects focused on various fields of quantum computer science, including quantum machine learning and quantum optimization. The interns did research on quantum computing with implementation on real devices, developed new educational materials, designed and implemented new software, and did educational research on quantum programming. At the end of QIntern 2020, the jury evaluated projects as well as presentations of the results and awarded prizes in two categories. For the best project:-…
