<strong>If you are new to Quantum computing, then this course will help you understand the fundamentals and practicalities of this field. This course will provide you with step-by-step guidance in learning the implementation and important methodologies associated with Quantum computing in a beginner-friendly environment.</strong>
        <p>Quantum computers are expected to change our lives drastically in the upcoming years. We know we can solve specific problems in minutes with Quantum computers while we can solve them in thousands of years with classical computers. If you want to get ahead of technology and learn about the future, then you are in the right place!

Throughout the course, we will start from nothing and understand the principles of quantum mechanics and how to use them in Quantum computers. We will write our own codes to execute on real Quantum computers using IBM Qiskit technology. If you have a high school level of mathematical knowledge, you can take this course.

Throughout the course, we will use real Quantum computers as well as simulators using IBM Qiskit framework. Python programming language will be delivered from scratch, all the way up to the details.

When you complete this training, you will be able to understand the theory and practice of Quantum computing, write your own circuits, and execute codes on real Quantum computers. You will easily adapt your quantum knowledge to other Quantum computers rather than IBM. Since IBM is the only provider for Quantum computers on the cloud, without paying any fee right now, all examples will be executed on IBMQ.

Happy coding!

The Complete Quantum Computing Course for Beginners

General Admission

<strong>This course is intended for beginner-level individuals who are fascinated about quantum computing and want to learn more about it. It uses Jupyter notebook and IBM Qiskit tool to execute your learning into the actual computation.</strong>
        <p>Quantum computers could help the development of new breakthroughs in science, medications, machine learning, material science, and finance, which will help mankind become the best civilization in the whole universe. In fact, quantum computing is so powerful that no one knows how to use its true potential and till now, no quantum algorithm is perfect. The hardware and code are still in development stages, providing great opportunities in the future for quantum computing professionals.

This course starts by introducing you to the basics of current classical computing technology that is based on bits/binary digits (0 and 1) and quantum computing (qubits), and how it is way much more advanced than earlier. Then you will install and get tested on working with the Jupyter notebook and IBM Qiskit in order to execute codes. Lastly, you will learn all the quantum computing concepts and their execution simultaneously in a much leaner, simpler, and more concise format.

By the end of this course, you will learn the basics of quantum computing through implementing it via IBM Qiskit, and you could be able to contribute yourself to the domain that is still in the development phase and be a part of great opportunities in the future for quantum computing professionals.
