The Qiskit Global Summer School 2022 is a two-week intensive summer program designed to empower the quantum researchers and developers of tomorrow with the skills and know-how to explore the world of quantum computing and its applications. This third-annual summer school will provide a focused introduction to quantum computing and its applications to quantum simulation, with a specific focus on quantum chemistry.
Please follow Qiskit Twitter for more details and updates. For any questions, please check out our FAQ below!
Early Bird Registration will open at 12:00 PM EST on May 26, 2022.
*Final agenda and syllabus subject to change
Minimal prerequisites are required for the Qiskit Global Summer School. If you know how to multiply two matrices , and have some programming experience in Python, you are ready for the Summer School.
You can brush up on Python programming before attending the lectures by using the Qiskit Textbook. To make the most out of these lectures, you may also consider looking through the linear algebra prerequisites section of the Qiskit Textbook.
There is no application or pre-registration for the Qiskit Global Summer School 2022. Registration will be on a first come, first served basis, with scheduled global availability. Once the Summer School registration reaches capacity, unfortunately we will not be able to register any additional students.
The summer school is made up of a total of 20 lectures, 3 lab sessions & application exercises, in addition to the daily Live Q&A Sessions and final Commencement Celebration. Participation and completion of all labs and lectures are required in order to receive a certificate of completion from the Summer School, with the optional Q&A Sessions and Commencement activities to enhance your Summer School experience. The schedule is not fixed, aside from final lab submission deadlines, and all students can participate on the schedule that works best for them. Students should anticipate a minimum time commitment of 30 hours for the full Summer School, but we recommend planning on 41 hours of participation, with additional time for discussion and collaboration with other students.
The 2022 Summer School will cover briefly introduce quantum computing before diving into quantum simulations and chemistry, which was not covered in the 2020 or 2021 Summer School, so you should enroll if you are interested!
Lectures and labs sessions will all be recorded and available for live participation and post viewing, as well as the daily Q&A sessions.
Nope! Everything can be done in-browser.
There is no cost to participate in the summer school!
You will need a computer with a reliable internet connection and either a mobile device or webcam/microphone on your computer to communicate with mentors and other students. You will need to be able to view seminars and connect virtually. Other than that, you just need to bring yourself
