Quantum Computing for 0€ (How to hack a quantum computer: a user's guide)

Are you wondering what a quantum computer is? Do you think that it may just be a bunch of hype? Are you intrigued enough that you want to explore quantum computing but have no idea where to begin? In this workshop we'll learn how to use publicly available quantum computers for no cost using open-source interfaces. You will learn the basics of quantum computation, how to work with publicly-available interfaces, and even run a program or two on a real quantum computer. Along the way we'll also raise questions about the current hype around quantum computers and ask whether they will ever be able to deliver on their promise.

No experience in quantum mechanics, physics, or programming is required. If you have some Python programming experience that will be helpful, but all code will be provided for you.

Please bring a laptop. The workshop will be done in English.
