This workshop offers a hands-on introduction to quantum computing for participants who are enthusiastic about the field but new to its fundamentals. We begin with an intuitive overview of what quantum computing is, how it differs from classical computing, and where it can provide value, without assuming prior knowledge of quantum mechanics. Participants will then learn how to use NVIDIA CUDA-Q to write and run quantum programs, culminating in the implementation of a variational quantum algorithm that combines classical and quantum computation. By the end of the workshop, attendees will have a practical understanding of accelerated quantum supercomputing and the confidence to begin exploring quantum application development on their own.
Zoom coordinates will be provided to registrants before the workshop.
