Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need prior quantum computing experience?
No prior experience is required for the event. We have structured the week to cater to novices and advanced participants alike. Basic Python knowledge is recommended for workshops.
Can I attend virtually?
The talks will be streamed live. However, the hands-on workshops and the hackathon are strictly in-person to facilitate collaboration and mentorship.
What hardware is required for the workshops?
Please bring a personal laptop. All computations will be run via cloud APIs (IBM Quantum, AWS Braket), so massive local computational power is not necessary. We will provide Wi-Fi and API credits.
Are meals provided?
Light refreshments and lunch will be provided on Saturday
Will I receive a certificate?
Yes, you will be certified based on the quality of your project and your presentation. All participants will be given a participation certificate for their projects. Extraordinary projects will be awarded a distinction certificate.
Do I need a teammate while registering?
No, all registrations are done individually. After the event starts, you may form a team with a friend or we shall assign you a teammate.
