Jan. 12, 2021 — iQuHACK (interdisciplinary Quantum HACKathon) 2021 is MIT’s second annual quantum hackathon. The program aims to bring people from a diverse set of backgrounds, including physics, computer science, and chemistry, together to explore improvements and applications of near-term quantum devices. As a part of iQuHACK, MIT is also hosting a workshop on Friday, January 29th. The workshop is focused on the properties and applications of NISQ devices, and is aimed at preparing participants for the hackathon.

No need to have a background in quantum information! Coaches from the event’s hardware sponsors will be available throughout the event, and we will teach you the basics of quantum circuits, algorithms and the types of projects that can be done with D-Wave’s quantum annealing hardware or IonQ’s trapped-ion quantum computing hardware. Your projects will be run on real quantum hardware!

Tutorials:	January 29th
Hackathon:	January 30th-31st
Location:	Online

 

iQuHACK is open to all students (high school, undergraduate, and graduate) and non-faculty university affiliates that registered and confirmed (via email) for the event. Registration will close January 15th, 2021.
