Quantum Summer School
Learn about quantum technology in a free 1-week summer school!
Dozens of start-ups and big tech companies in the quantum technology space like IBM, Intel, and Google need scientists and engineers with an awareness and basic understanding of quantum computing and quantum communication. If you are majoring in science, technology, engineering, or math (STEM), this week-long summer school will teach you what you need to know without requiring any previous exposure to quantum mechanics. By the end, you will understand the fundamental mechanisms underlying quantum computing---superposition, entanglement, and interference---explain how quantum cryptography works, construct and analyze basic quantum circuits, and use IBM's python package Qiskit to interface with real quantum computers via the internet.
