QC2 Delivers Summer School for High School Students

In collaboration with Qatar Foundation's Mukhyamna summer camp program, Qatar Center for Quantum Computing (QC2) delivered a 1-week quantum computing summer school for high school students. The school took place between July 7 and 11 at Hamad Bin Khalifa University’s (HBKU) Penrose House, and was attended by 22 high school students from 15 different Qatari schools.

The summer school offered a comprehensive curriculum that included both theoretical and practical sessions. The theoretical sessions covered the fundamentals of quantum computing, exposing students to various practical applications. A series of lab sessions then reinforced their understanding, providing opportunities to experiment with simulated and real quantum environments.

Commenting on this event, Dr. Saif Al-Kuwari, Director, QC2, and summer school instructor said: “Equipping the next generation with the necessary skills for the upcoming quantum revolution is at the core of our vision and mission. I hope the students left with a better understanding of the potential of quantum computing and its impact.”
