QPrep21 | Quantum Computing and Programming Workshop | October 31 – November1, 2025
We are happy to announce our QPrep workshop in Saudi Arabia, organized as part of the entangling workshop for QSaudiArabia. Join us in the elementary level workshop “Quantum Computing and Programming” focusing on Python programming and linear algebra. This workshop is intended as a preparation before joining QBronze workshop.
We are inviting everyone wishing to learn more about quantum computers. During the workshop, we will use the “before-workshop” section of the Bronze-Qiskit tutorial. The educational materials, lectures and mentoring will be in English. We will also provide mentoring in Arabic.
Participants are expected to follow the workshop materials, join the lectures and complete the material on their own. The workshop will be held over 2 days.
We will share homework via QWorld Canvas (five homework, in total 100 pts). The participants who complete them all successfully (at least 50% from each) with at least 70 pts in total, will earn their diplomas!
The participants are expected to work individually to complete two main sections: Python Review and and Basic Math.

The material is a collection of Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook has many programming tasks to provide hands-on experiences. The main goal is to provide the necessary background needed to participate in the first level QBronze workshop. 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.
