Entanglement Workshop
Welcome!
QMexico is excited to welcome you to its first workshop on the "Basics of Quantum Computing". If you haven't please follow us on social media on Twitter and Facebook. Also, check out our website for more information about our organization and future events!
Who we are
"QMexico stands for science, compromise and the momentum to promote fundamental concepts with high scientific rigor. We believe in science as a driver for societal advancement."
QBronze39
We will use the Strangeworks platform for easy access to Qiskit Quantum Development Kit (QDK) without having to worry about dependencies, libraries, Python versions, etc., but you are welcome to download the repository here and install Qiskit on your personal computer to access the backend services. To create your Strangeworks account, use the link provided in your acceptance letter.
Workshop Logistics
Please refer to this webpage to access workshop material, tutoring session information, etc. The workshop is organized to cover the following topics, and we expected to cover one topic per day. Workshop attendees are expected to follow the material on their own and complete the assignments to receive a certificate. Regarding interaction with mentors:
Intro Session:Saturday, Oct 31st, 18:00 - 19:00 Mexico City Time.Review Sessions:We will host daily review sessions at Noon (12:00 Mexico City time) through Zoom videoconferencing by following the link here (pass:qmex2020). In these sessions, a general summary of the material will be presented, and also allocate time for any questions that might arise after working on the material assigned for the day.**Discord:Mentors will also be available to answer questions on workshop material and the use of the platform (18:00-21:00).Quizzes:We will distribute a final evaluation in the form of a Google Form. Those attendees correctly answering 75% of the questions in the survey, will receive a certificate of completion.
**While the workshop material was prepared in English, review sessions will be conducted in Spanish.
