The Summer School has space for 300 attendees and is open to anyone who have the following prerequisites:

  • Good Mathematics: Complex Linear Algebra
  • Understanding of the properties of quantum mechanics: e.g. superposition, entanglement, interference
  • Some programming experience: Python is preferable

Attendees will be in introduced to quantum computing; to its theory as well as to:

  • Qiskit and IBM Quantum Computers
  • Basic Quantum Algorithms
  • Advanced Quantum Algorithms
  • Applications of Quantum Computing
  • Understanding the hardware of Quantum Computers

The school will run from 2 December – 10 December 2019 at the Wits Science Stadium, Braamfontein Campus West, Johannesburg.

Following the Summer School, IBM Q will be hosting an invite-only Qiskit Camp Africa in South Africa (11 – 14 December 2019) for 200 quantum researchers and computer scientists. Qiskit is a full-stack, open-source quantum software development kit to create and run quantum computing programs.
