Introduction to quantum computing

Start with the double-slit experiment, then explore superposition, vectors, matrices, eigenvalues and measurement. Build intuition with interactive diagrams before trying Qiskit.

  • Superposition and interference
  • Quantum gates

Introduction to SQD

How do we find a molecule’s energy? Start with matrices, eigenvalues and quantum circuits, then explore VQE and how SQD selects a smaller subspace from measurement results.

  • Matrices and eigenvalues
  • VQE

Quantum optimization

Which activities should a festival host? Turn a constrained choice into a QUBO or Ising model, and explore quantum annealing and QAOA. No prior programming or matrix calculations required.

  • QUBO
  • Quantum annealing
