Using Quantum Computers Now: Hands on with Quantum Games

Start experimenting with quantum and games!

Yes, you’ve heard about quantum, but have you tried programming a quantum computer yourself? We are inviting you to a hands-on session, where you have the unique opportunity to take part in a live demo and try Quantum Blur Unity.

This meetup is special as we will start with an introduction to making games using quantum computers, you’ll soon discover why it’s a great way to start experimenting with this new technology.

Agenda:
1.) Introduction to Quantum Computing and Quantum Games
2.) Hands-on Demo Quantum Blur Unity
3.) Discussion and Q&A

With you at the meetup are two absolute experts in the space of quantum computing and quantum games: James Wootton and Marcel Pfaffhauser.

James is a Research Staff Member at IBM Research - Zurich. His research now focusses on topics that are accessible to newcomers to quantum computing, to make sure that there are lots of useful and interesting topics for everyone to work on. James is the creator of the world's first quantum game. He has taught courses on quantum computing at the University of Basel, and was one of the founding authors of the textbook on Qiskit, IBM's quantum computing software platform.

Marcel studied computer science at ETH Zurich, with specialization in theory of computing. He worked as a Unity Developer for 5 years, where he was focused on AR VR and Gamification. Last Year he joined IBM Research in Zurich to work in the Quantum Education Team together with James.

Join us on April 22nd on Twitch for what will be an exciting and interactive meetup.
