About
Want to dive into the world of quantum computing?
Come with some programming experience in Python. There will be a lecture every week with practice problems and additional optional practice. By the end of 10 weeks, you will be able to implement quantum algorithms and software using IBM Qiskit!
This course is accessible for high-schoolers and there is no advanced math knowledge (such as linear algebra or calculus) required.
