Brookhaven National Lab Quantum Computing Summer School

Brookhaven National Lab offers a six-week workshop to introduce undergraduate and graduate students to the exciting world of quantum information science. Through a series of demonstrations and hands-on programming labs, students will learn how quantum algorithms, when applied to specific problem domains, can outperform classical computers. Students will learn IBM Qiskit, a world-class software package for working with quantum computers at the level of pulses, circuits, and application modules. The workshop will run for six weeks and be conducted entirely remotely using Zoom web conferencing. Students must have previously completed courses in computer science, integral calculus, and introductory physics. Students will download and install the 100% open-source courseware and development tools on their personal computers, which they will use during the program. Students will be provided a weekly stipend and those who successfully complete the workshop will be presented a certificate from Brookhaven Lab attesting to their skills in the Foundations of Quantum Programming.
