Quantum Leap: Building Real Quantum Programs with Python
17/10/2026 , Principal

Explore the frontiers of computation with Quantum Computing using Python! This talk introduces quantum concepts and shows you how to build and run real quantum programs using libraries like Qiskit.


Quantum computing is no longer science fiction - it's here, and Python is the gateway! In this talk, you'll learn how to write quantum circuits and simulate or run them on actual quantum hardware using Python-based frameworks.

We’ll start by introducing the core principles of quantum computing, such as qubits, superposition, entanglement, and measurement, with simple visualizations. Then, we'll dive into the practical side: writing Python code that defines quantum circuits, performs quantum logic operations, and interprets results. You'll even see how to submit jobs to real quantum processors in the cloud.

Whether you're a developer curious about quantum or a data scientist exploring next-gen computing, this talk gives you practical skills and mental models to understand and use quantum tools - today.

Key Takeaways:
- Understand basic quantum computing concepts in Python terms
- Build quantum circuits with Qiskit
- Simulate quantum behavior on classical hardware
- Access cloud-based quantum processors (e.g., IBM Quantum)
- Learn about real-world applications like quantum
