- Master’s Course on Quantum Programming and Computing
Welcome to the master’s level course QCourse514-1 “Quantum Programming and Computing!”
Our qcourse is available by a collaboration between QWorld and CTU Prague (Faculty of Nuclear Sciences and Physical Engineering, Czech Technical University of Prague). QCourse514-1 is formally linked to the course with code 02QPRGA in the Quantum Technologies master’s program of CTU. The course is also included in the DigiQ shared courses, the EuroTeQ course catalogue, as well as in the QTEdu Open Masterprogramme.
This edition is free, fully online, and open for graduate-level students from all around the world, however, priority is given to students from Ukraine, local partners, the QWorld network, and the QTEdu Open Master network. Our quota is limited to 10 students.
Tentative time for lectures and lab tutorials are:
Lectures (hybrid): 9:00-9:50 (Prague) on Tuesdays
Labs (online): 18:00-20:00 (Prague) on Thursdays
Final times for lectures and lab tutorials will be announced shortly.
The course will run for 13 weeks starting 13.02.2023, the materials are based on QWorld’s tutorials Bronze and Silver, covering:
- Basics of probabilistic and quantum systems; elements of basic quantum circuits and quantum programming libraries; superposition and measurement; Bloch Sphere; quantum operators on the Bloch sphere; composite quantum system; entanglement, superdense coding, and quantum teleportation.
- Grover’s search algorithm, quantum Fourier transform; quantum phase estimation; and Shor’s factorization algorithm.
- Our course tutorials come with fully hands-on experience, and the students should solve several programming tasks using Python. Therefore, each applicant should be able to write basic programs using Python, such as creating a list of twin prime numbers less than 300 and then print this list.
- Each applicant should also know (i) the basics of linear algebra such as vectors, matrices, and the basic operations on them, (ii) the basics of trigonometric concepts and functions such as angle, length, sine, cosine, unit circle, unit sphere, rotations, and reflections, and (iii) concept of complex numbers.
The workload of QCourse514-1 is 3 ETCS credits, around 80 academic hours per semester. We follow a strict deadline policy, and almost every week there will be a deadline. The students are expected to work every week at least 4-6 hours besides attending the online sessions and online exams. Otherwise, they likely would drop out from or fail the course.
Applications
The applications are open between Jan 30 and Feb 10, 2023. We will admit up to 20 global students.
The notification emails will be sent out between 11-12 February. Please check your inbox & spam folders.

We are pleased to announce our first QSilver workshop organized jointly by QSlovakia & QCzech. Join us for the intermediate workshop using two quantum programming frameworks, Cirq and Qiskit to learn about quantum Fourier transform and Shor’s algorithm.
Update 29 June 2022: We have received 13 registrations to our workshop, with whom we have enjoyed the week on-line, learning about quantum programming! We congratulate all 6 people who have earned the diploma by successfully completing the workshop materials and home works! We will distribute the diplomas one they’re issued by QWorld.
Original announcement follows:
We are inviting high school students, university and graduate students, researchers, professors, and industry professionals. During the workshop, we will use the intemediate tutorial QSilver by QWorld. We will use Discord to communicate with each other and conduct the workshop by Zoom meetings. Jupyter notebooks and Zoom lectures will be in English.
The combined content of the QBronze and QSilver workshops is equivalent to the content of the 02QPRG course held at the Czech Technical University in Prague, which is open to students from EuroTeQ university alliance, as well to students from universities participating in the QTEdu Open Master Project. Students enrolling in 02QPRG in the next academic year may be automatically credited the passing grade if they have successfully completed these two workshops.
Participants will be watching the lecture videos and completing the tasks on their own. Mentor support will be provided for participants to ask questions and share their progress. The workshop will be held over 5 days.
We will share homework via QWorld Canvas (five homework, in total 100 pts). The participants who complete them all successfully (at least 50% from each) with at least 70 pts in total, will earn their diplomas!The participants are expected to work individually at least 16 hours to complete the following sections of Bronze: basics of classical systems, basics of quantum systems, basic quantum operators, quantum correlation and quantum protocols, and quantum search algorithm.
https://gitlab.com/qworld/silver
The tutorial is a collection of Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook has a recorded lecture. We use python to solve the tasks and Qiskit library to code quantum programs. The participants should know at least one programming language, and they should make themselves familiar with Python before the workshop if they do not know Python. We will share the installation instructions and a few notebooks on basics of mathematics and participants should review them before the workshop starts.

The tutorial is a collection of Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook has a recorded lecture. We use python to solve the tasks and Qiskit library to code quantum programs. The participants should know at least one programming language before registering, and they should make themselves familiar with Python before the workshop if they do not know Python. We will share notebooks with installation instructions and review of math basics three days before the workshop starts.
