Getting Started with Quantum Computing Hands-on

NOTE: THIS IS AN EARLY TIME SLOT SESSION - repeated on Thu Apr 21 at 3:30-4:30 pm ET.
In this hands-on workshop, you will learn the fundamentals of programming a quantum computer. We will use the IBM Quantum platform to create quantum circuits both visually using the Circuit Composer and with Python code using the open source Qiskit framework. You will have the opportunity to run your circuits using quantum simulators and on real quantum computers in the IBM Cloud. Attendees should sign-up for a free account on the IBM Quantum platform beforehand at https://quantum-computing.ibm.com to best experience this hands-on session.

Note that this is part 2 of a 6-session series on Quantum Computing on Apr 13/14, Apr 20/21, May 4/5, May 18/19, Jun 1/2, and Jun 15/16. The sessions are not prerequisites for each other, and are not recorded. We will provide reference links and do quick recaps of previous content as required, so if you miss an earlier session, you can still get value from subsequent sessions.
