Dive into the fascinating world of quantum programming and discover how to shape the future with MonarQ, Calcul Québec's quantum computer.

Detailed introduction to basic quantum programming in PennyLane (quantum circuits, gates, measurements, state preparation), as well as an overview of selected advanced topics (variational circuits and optimisation).
We will show how to start jobs on Calcul Quebec's quantum computer MonarQ. Basic knowledge of Python is needed. For a theoretical course on quantum computing, see "Introduction to quantum computation theory (CIQ101)".
