Dear Students and Colleagues,

Due to the great interest in "QDrive Budapest", the 3-day workshop (July
3-5, 2019) to be given by quantum programmers from the University of Latvia
on the basics of quantum computing and quantum programming, we have
organized a second workshop - same instructors, same conditions, on the
week after the first one:

Date: 8-10 July (Mon-Wed), 2019
Location: Eötvös University, Faculty of Science, 1117 Budapest, Pázmány
Péter sétány 1/A

There are still free positions for the 2nd workshop, and there is a waiting
list for the 1st workshop. If you are interested to come to either of
these, please register via an online form,

Announcement:

    What is a quantum computer, what can it do, how does it work?
    How can I write my own programs and run them on IBM's quantum computer?

If you wonder about these questions, are not afraid of a bit of linear
algebra, a touch of quantum physics, and have some experience with python,
this 3-day free workshop at Eötvös University by QLatvia could be for you!
The workshop is part of QDrive, with classes given in English by Latvian
quantum computer scientists, and is hosted by the Eötvös University
Budapest, with local support from the Budapest University of Technology and
Economics and the Wigner Research Centre of the Hungarian Academy of
Sciences. The material consists of 40 Jupyter notebooks, each of which has
2-5 tasks to be completed by the participants, with Qiskit as the main
library to execute quantum programs. Before the workshop, the first 12
notebooks will be shared with the participants for testing their systems,
reviewing the basics of Python, vectors, matrices, and basic operations on
them. Each participant should install Anaconda and Qiskit in her or his
computer, and then test her or his system.

Due to the large interest we have opened up a second date as well. 1st
workshop: July 3-5, 2nd workshop: July 8-10. We continue to accept
registrations for both weeks, although for the 1st week, you might end up
on a waiting list. There is no registration fee for these events, but the
number of attendees is limited. If you have registered for this event the
first time around, but did not receive your confirmation email, or if you
have other questions, contact us at
