Exploring Quantum Computing and Qiskit with a Raspberry Pi and a 3D Printer

Speakers:
Jan-Rainer Lahmann, IBM Quantum Ambassador & Qiskit Advocate, Member of the IBM Academy of Technology &
Oxana Junkereit, Senior Consultant SAP Technology and Mobile, IBM GBS

In this meetup, Jan-Rainer Lahmann and Oxana Junkereit will present and discuss the details of the RasQberry project:

1. 3D model of the IBM Q System One
2. Raspberry Pi mini computer
3. Qiskit (the IBM Quantum Framework)
   The session will include a live install of Qiskit on a Raspberry Pi, a comprehensive walk-through and demo of the system, instructions to build a complete RasQberry yourself, and Q&A.

The RasQberry project: Exploring Quantum Computing and Qiskit with a Raspberry Pi and a 3D Printer

Quantum Computing - which is based on Quantum Mechanics - is a complex technology that is hard to understand for most people. Completely new algorithms - and even new thinking - is needed to exploit the potential power of upcoming quantum computers. This requires new approaches to teach Quantum Computing in engaging and understandable ways for IT experts, developers and young academics.

RasQberry integrates Qiskit, a Raspberry Pi (the full range from Pi 4 down to a Pi Zero) and a 3D printed model of IBM Q System One to explore various state of the art technologies and create a tool that can be used in meetings, meetups, demo booths, etc. A spectrum of Quantum Computing demos and Serious Games for Quantum Computing (that illustrate superposition, interference and entanglement) will be made available on this device for an engaging introduction to Quantum Computing.

° The project is on GitHub http://rasqberry.org
° Part of it (the SW install, not the 3D model) is published on medium.com: https://medium.com/qiskit/rasqberry-quantum-computing-is-the-coolest-project-for-raspberry-pi-3f64bec5a133

If some of you are interested in building a RasQberry themselves or even
contribute to the opensource project - we could have another session 4-6 weeks later to help with the actual build and share experiences within the team.
