Quantum computing is an emerging technology that has advanced rapidly in recent years and is showing positive results. Although it is in a research and development phase, companies are already beginning to experiment with this new technology, learning how it works and conducting trials.
Bilbao Quantum Computing Hackathon is a unique opportunity to be advised and learn from Qiskit researchers, quantum computing experts, communities and development teams. It will offer participants the opportunity to delve into inspiring challenges and apply skills across disciplines in collaborative teams.
A two-day immersion to prototype the future of quantum computing, during which we will conduct a 24-hour Hackathon, organized by INNOLAB Bilbao, IBM and QUTIS Center of the Basque University.
Bilbao Quantum Computing Hackathon will be held on 9 and 10 December 2019 in Bilbao.
