Hands-On Quantum Programming with Qiskit
The "Hands-On Quantum Programming with Qiskit" course teaches practical quantum coding using IBM’s open-source Qiskit framework. You’ll build quantum circuits, simulate quantum behaviors, and deploy algorithms on real quantum hardware. As quantum programming matures, cybersecurity becomes central to its safe application, especially in encryption, authentication, and cryptanalysis. Participants will explore how poorly written quantum code can open vectors for data leakage and hardware vulnerabilities. By the end, you'll not only be proficient in Qiskit but also equipped to integrate secure practices into quantum development environments.
