REGISTER HERE: http://www.wits.ac.za/quantum-computing/summer-school/ (Registration closes on 22 November 2019 and residence room bookings close on 15 November 2019)
 
Aimed at undergraduates, postgraduates, academics, researchers and members of industry who are interested in Quantum Computing, the Summer School will be an opportunity to produce and facilitate research that incorporates quantum computing.
In June, 91¿´Æ¬Íø became the first African partner on the IBM Q Network â€“ a  community of Fortune 500 companies, startups, academic institutions and research labs working with IBM to advance quantum computing and explore practical applications for business and science.
The Summer School has space for 300 attendees and is open to anyone who have the following prerequisites:

Good Mathematics: Complex Linear Algebra
Understanding of the properties of quantum mechanics: e.g. superposition, entanglement, interference
Some programming experience: Python is preferable

Attendees will be in introduced to quantum computing; to its theory as well as to:

Qiskit and IBM Quantum Computers
Basic Quantum Algorithms
Advanced Quantum Algorithms
Applications of Quantum Computing
Understanding the hardware of Quantum Computers

The school will run from 2 December - 10 December 2019 at the 91¿´Æ¬Íø Science Stadium, Braamfontein Campus West, Johannesburg.
Following the Summer School, IBM Q will be hosting an invite-only Qiskit Camp Africa in South Africa (11 – 14 December 2019) for 200 quantum researchers and computer scientists. Qiskit is a full-stack, open-source quantum software development kit to create and run quantum computing programs.
