Quantum Computing Internship for Physics Undergraduates 2023

5 Jun 2023, 12:00 → 23 Jun 2023, 17:00 US/Central

Michael Wagman (Fermilab)

Welcome!

This site will be used to hold the schedule (see Timetable on the left bar), lecture notes, lab handouts, and more. It will be updated frequently during the program.

 

Program Summary

In this three-week program, participants will gain hands-on experience programming for existing quantum computers using Python and Qiskit. This will be supplemented by daily lectures on the fundamentals of quantum mechanics and quantum computing. The program will culminate in participants running their own code on an IBM quantum computer.
