Quantum Computing Training.

Write and run a programme on a real quantum computer

About the course

Quantum computing technology is seeing massive investment – it has the potential to be the greatest innovation of our lifetime. Now’s the time to see how this incredible technology works – and to learn the underlying principles.

Over the course of 4 hours, you go from zero knowledge to writing and running programmes on a real quantum computer. The training starts with instruction and exercises. The second half is a hands-on lab. Remember to bring your laptop!

Duration: ½ day
