  • Introduction to Qiskit

    In collaboration with IBM
  • Join IBM for a workshop exploring how to build, transpile, verify, and execute quantum circuits using Qiskit.

    Led by Irma Avdic, Quantum Algorithm Engineer at IBM Research, this session will introduce you to developing quantum circuits with Qiskit and running them on both local simulators and IBM Quantum hardware. You will gain practical experience using the Estimator and Sampler primitives available in both the Qiskit SDK and Qiskit Runtime.

    This workshop is designed for beginners, no prior experience with quantum computing is required. Basic familiarity with Python and programming concepts is recommended.

    Before the Workshop

    Participants should have Python 3.8+, pip/pip3, and JupyterLab (optional) installed on their devices before the workshop.
