The Graduate School of Information Sciences at Tohoku University will be hosting a workshop and tutorial on quantum computing starting from January 31, 2025. This event is open to high school students, university students, graduate students, technical college students, and working professionals across Japan.

Participants will acquire programming skills that allow them to freely operate quantum annealing machines and gain hands-on experience with real quantum annealing hardware.

“I want to solve social issues using quantum annealing.”
“I want to develop new businesses.”
“I want to create applications that benefit people.”

However, these aspirations often come with concerns:

“I’ve never done programming before.”
“I don’t understand quantum computing.”
“I can’t think of any useful applications.”

This course is designed to address such concerns together and provide step-by-step guidance. It is an interactive, publicly available, and online quantum computing course.

That is Quantum Annealing for You, The 3rd Challenge! (QA4U3).
