We welcome you to participate in our global quantum jam “QJam2021” held online from Friday, Nov 26 to Sunday, Dec 5. We thank Unitary Fund and Faculty of Computing (University of Latvia) for their support.
QJam2021 is open to students, quantum enthusiasts, researchers, educators, teachers, artists, writers, designers, animators, software developers, game developers, programmers, and others.
To inspire the participants, we will host several QJam Talks on Nov 23-25, and we will make a GitLab repo ready with several project ideas.
We use Discord as our base server for communications and Gitlab for project management. We use zoom meetings for online talks.
Participating in QJam2021 is free, but registration (see below) is mandatory.

Fri (Nov 26), 17:00: The opening meeting of QJam2021
Sat-Sun (Nov 27-28): Project idea discussions, team formation, and recruitment
Mon (Nov 29): QJamming session | Several time slots will be set
Mon-Sat (Nov 29-Dec4): Working on projects | Our mentors will visit each group regularly

Sun (Dec 5), 16:00: Overview of QJam, completed projects, and closing remarks.

Outcomes, evaluation, and awards
We expect each group to create a presentable outcome from their ideas. Outcomes can be in many different forms such as a quantum game, an animation, comics, a short movie, a web application, a smartphone application, a new library, new functionality to jupyter notebooks, a tool for quizzing.
In the end, only the projects with presentable outcomes will be eligible for evaluation, and the members of such projects will get certificates. Both the participants (50%) and the jury (50%) will rate the projects. There will be no competition among the projects. Instead, the members of projects with high scores (out of 10) will get special certificates:

Certificate of “Excellence” for the projects with scores nine or higher
Certificate of “Distinction” for the projects with scores between eight and nine
Certificate of “Merit” for the projects with scores between seven and eight

Evaluation criteria (tentative):

Motivation (15%)
Originality (15%)
Success of implementation (20%)
Outcome (30%)
Presentation (20%)

We invite the members of each successful project to continue their work under QWorld until the end of Spring 2022.

There will be regular (e.g., every two weeks) meetings with project members.
Each group will have opportunities to interact with QWorld’s members and volunteers. Depending on the availability, we may assign a knowledgeable mentor to your project.
We plan to have a spring QCourse on research and implementation projects. We may invite suitable projects to this course.
We help each group to prepare a manuscript or technical report to publish.
We invite suitable work to be presented at QWorld Quantum Science Days 2022.
QWorld may integrate some projects into its program based on mutual agreement.

Quantum Summer School 2021
2021-07-24 - 2021-08-06 | Online
Quantum Summer School 2021 is the 2-weeks quantum workshop series organized by QWorld (Association). Its program is addressed to high school students, university and graduate students, researchers, professors, and industrial people interested in their development towards quantum computing and quantum programming. During the event, it will be possible to establish also new contacts, take part in an integration meetings and exchange of experiences between participants at various stages of their scientific careers.
As part of the summer school, participants will complete a two-tier program: QBronze-Qiskit as an introductory level and QSilver as an intermediate level workshop series. Classes will be held remotely from July 26 to August 8, 2021, on the Zoom and Discord platforms.
Homework will be given daily and the participants who successfully complete the homework will be awarded a Bronze and/or Silver diploma.

About the program:
Bronze-Qiskit is QWorld’s introductory level quantum workshop series. It is a collection of Jupyter notebooks, and each notebook has many programming tasks to provide hands-on experiences. Bronze-Qiskit is the active version of Bronze using Qiskit as the quantum programming framework. The prerequisite is to know the basics of programming (variables and basic data types, loops, and conditionals). Any previous experience in python will be helpful.
Bronze-Qiskit has five main sections, and for each of them, the participant should spend about 3-4 hours. Their scope includes basics of classical systems, basics of quantum systems, quantum operators on a quantum bit, entanglement and basics quantum protocols, and quantum search algorithm.

QSilver is QWorld’s intermediate-level workshop series on quantum computing and programming focusing on complex numbers, QFT, and Shor’s Algorithm. Silver includes two different quantum programming frameworks, Qiskit and Cirq. Each notebook consists of some theoretical background about the subject, and programming tasks. Silver is designed for everyone with a basic knowledge of quantum computing concepts like qubits, quantum gates and quantum circuits and some hand-on experience in quantum programming.
Silver has five main sections, and their scope includes an introduction to complex numbers, Bloch Sphere, operations with Complex Numbers, quantum Fourier Transform and its applications, and Shor’s algorithm.

Application
