QBronze57 | Quantum Computing and Programming | April 2-3 & 9-10, 2021
We are happy to announce the first QBronze workshop in Egypt! The entangling workshop for QEgypt will take place on two consecutive weekends in April. Join us and our Egyptian host Alexandria Quantum Computing Group (AleQCG) for the introductory workshop “Quantum Computing and Programming” and learn the basics of quantum computing and how to write simple quantum programs.
We are inviting high school students, university and graduate students, researchers, professors, and industrial people from Egypt. During the workshop, we will use the introductory tutorial Bronze-Qiskit by QWorld. We will use Slack to communicate with each other and conduct the workshop by Zoom meetings. Jupyter notebooks and Zoom lectures will be in English.
The participants completing the workshop successfully will receive a diploma!
Participants will be watching the lecture videos and completing the tasks on their own. Mentor support will be provided for participants to ask their questions and share their progress with mentors. The workshop will be held over 4 days on two consecutive weekends, with a total of 20 hours of training.
First Weekend | 2-3.04.2021
Friday: 17:00 – 22:00 (GMT+2)
Saturday: 17:00 – 22:00 (GMT+2)
Second Weekend | 9-10.04.2021
Friday: 17:00 – 22:00 (GMT+2)
Saturday: 17:00 – 22:00 (GMT+2)
The participants are expected to work individually at least 16 hours to complete the following sections of Bronze-Qiskit: basics of classical systems, basics of quantum systems, basic quantum operators, quantum correlation and quantum protocols, and quantum search algorithm.

The tutorial is a collection of Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook has a recorded lecture. We use python to solve the tasks and Qiskit library to code quantum programs. The participants should know at least one programming language, and they should make themselves familiar with Python before the workshop if they do not know Python. We will share the installation instructions and a few notebooks on basics of mathematics and participants should review them before the workshop starts.
