Introduction to Quantum Computing

We will provide an introduction and overview of IBM Quantum Computing. This will include a discussion on the motivation for quantum computing and how quantum computers work. Next, we will examine the types of problems to which quantum computing might be applied. The IBM Quantum Experience which provides the tooling and interfaces for programming IBM quantum computers will be introduced. Finally, we will highlight the IBM Quantum ecosystem which includes the IBM Quantum Network and the Qiskit community. After this session you should be empowered with the knowledge and resources you need to begin your quantum computing journey.

Note that this session is part of a multiple set of sessions we plan to host on quantum computing. Stay tuned for more topics related to quantum!
