ENCCS/NordIQuEst lesson on Quantum Computing and hybrid HPC-QC systems

ENCCS has joined forces with NordIQuEst to deliver two-day training workshops covering the fundamentals of quantum computing (QC), including:

• Introduction to key concepts: quantum states, qubits, quantum algorithms
• QC programming in high-level languages for use cases in optimisation, finance and quantum chemistry followed by testing quantum programs to esure their correctness
• Overview of the main QC hardware approaches
• Integration of QC with classical computing: hybrid classical/quantum algorithms and HPC-QC systems.
• Introduction to quantum software testing with Quito tool

Prerequisites

For the hands-on training sessions, basic familiarity with Python and some experience working in a Unix environment are desirable. No previous experience with quantum computers expected.
