Are you ready to dip your toe in the quantum pool? Ellie Daw not only introduces the difference between classical programming languages and quantum programming languages but also shows you how to code your first quantum program in Python using Qiskit.
Your mission, should you choose to accept it…
If you complete this challenge, you’ll have coded your own quantum circuits, put qubits into superposition, and even entangle them. 🐱 How cool is that!?!?
Price = FREE!
The UN declared 2025 as the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology (IYQ). Quantum mechanics celebrates 100 years of development, so be on the lookout for a celebration of quantum all year long! 🎉
What’s an Upskill Challenge (UC)?
A UC is a CTF-style, bite-sized lesson from the JHT Team, our courseware developers as well as “friends” of JHT. They are meant to be short and to the point. UCs focus on a single tool or concept and are helpful in quickly providing useful skills that might be prerequisites for other types of educational content on the platform.
A UC should be 10 – 30 minutes of student time and have no VMs. There are quizzes to make sure that the content is understood.
Prerequisites for UC – Quantum Programming
UCs assume no knowledge at all! They’re meant to be completely self-contained, so all of the answers are in the lesson. However, this lesson assumes a basic conceptual understanding of classical bits vs qubits. Check out the Quantum Computing UC for more on quantum concepts. Check out UC – Quantum Computing for more on foundational quantum concepts.
