Qiskit is an open-source framework developed by IBM for quantum computing. It allows users to create and run quantum programs on both simulators and real quantum hardware. Qiskit includes tools for building quantum circuits, simulating quantum systems, and developing quantum algorithms.

SCHEDULE

Theme: Quantum for Real-World Impact From Algorithms to Applications

Daily Updates

Quantum computing learning resources will be posted on the Discord server and a GitHub repository each morning. Participants will be asked to

  1. Study the assigned material thoroughly
  2. Share their learnings/reflections on any social media platform of their choice
  3. Submit a short reflection or summary via a GitHub (Daily Updates Page)

This ensures continuous learning, peer accountability, and active online engagement. Evening (After Sunset – 6:30 PM onwards): Live Quantum Sessions with experts will be conducted, adding more depth, superposition, and entanglement to the concepts studied during the day.
