QSilver36

"Silver36 - an intermediate-level workshop on quantum computing”

We invite you to a free remote workshop on quantum computer programming organized by the Quantum AI Foundation and QPoland! These intermediate-level workshops will be based on QSilver materials (including the quantum Fourier transform and Shor's algorithm) prepared by QWorld.

The workshop will take place on 23.02, 26.02, 2.03, 5.03, 6.03 (2026, each day at 18:00-21:00 UTC+1). It will be conducted in English. Participants will solve programming problems in Python using the Qiskit platform. Online meetings will be held on Zoom, and Discord will also be used as a communication tool. Throughout the workshops, mentors will be available to answer questions and monitor progress. Those who successfully complete the workshops will receive diplomas (to receive a diploma, participants must score at least 50% on each of the four tests and at least 70% on all tests combined).

Instructor: Przemysław Michałowski

Mentors: Adam Wesołowski, Miron Hunia, Saif Arko, Ashwani Saraswat, Pak Shen Choong
