About

Want to dive into the world of quantum computing? Come with some programming experience in Python. There will be a lecture every week with practice problems and additional optional practice. By the end of 10 weeks, you will be able to implement quantum algorithms and software using IBM Qiskit! This course is accessible for high-schoolers and there is no advanced math knowledge (such as linear algebra or calculus) required. **Dates and times set as of 8/30**

Tutor Qualifications

I took a quantum software course this summer sponsored by MIT, and I am currently conducting a research project in this field.

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Every session builds on the previous one, so try not to miss any! If you cannot make a session, message me beforehand, so I can get notes to you. Failing to give prior notice of an absence will result in withdrawal from the series.

About the Tutor

I'm a first-year undergraduate at UChicago! I love tutoring pretty much anything, but I'm especially passionate about math and physics. Some of my other interests/hobbies include hockey, musical composition, and quantum computing.
