QNickel - Quantum Computing and Programming Workshop
Join a free, remote workshop and expand your ability to create quantum programs.
This is an intermediate-level workshop (a follow-up to the QBronze workshop).
The event is free, but if you can, we encourage you to support the fundraising for the victims of the recent flooding in Poland:
