The IBM's Qiskit: Quantum Explorers is a self-paced, game-based quantum computing learning program for students, researchers, and enthusiasts. The theme of the 2023-2024 learning journey is Space Exploration. You will embark on an interstellar journey as the captain of a starship and grow proficiency in Quantum Computing along the way.

Anyone can join, from students to industry professionals to quantum enthusiasts! The program is beginner-friendly, though it increases in difficulty as achievements are unlocked. The program is comprised of engaging study materials, seminars, gamified achievements to unlock, community events, and career advice.

Participants will gain a general understanding of Quantum Computing, learn some of its applications such as Quantum Machine Learning and Quantum Optimization, and program real quantum computers.

There are seven themed achievements to unlock with corresponding badges to collect. Each badge has a learning module, event, or set of tasks associated with it, that must be completed in order to unlock its achievement. The program culminates in the awarding of a certification based on how many badges you collect.

IMPORTANT

  • The event's program is live from July 2023 to February 2024.

  • The total materials cover approximately 50 to 85 hours spanning over these 7 months.

  • The level of engagement depends on the participant.

  • Curated beginner to intermediate syllabuses to gain a foundational understanding of
    Quantum Computing and some of its applications, such as Quantum Error Correction,
    Quantum Error Mitigation, Quantum Machine Learning, Quantum Deep Learning,
    and Quantum Optimization.

  • Learners interact and network in a dedicated space through community activities and discussions.

  • Learners choose their own pace and craft their own learning paths.

  • The unlocking of achievements and respective badges, culminate in an official IBM Certification.
