QDrive

Quantum Drive was our spring and summer project in 2019.

We traveled by our car[*] to various venues and taught the basics of quantum programming and quantum computation by doing there-day workshops.

[*] We traveled by flight only to Ankara.

In the first cycle, we flew to Ankara (both ways), and then we drove by car 3710 km, and we visited Cracow, Warsaw, and Brno.

In the second cycle, we drove by car 6850 km, and we visited Brno, Košice, Budapest, Podrogrica, Sarajevo, and Ljubljana.

In total, we traveled 79 days, we organized 11 workshops in eight countries, and we handed out 209 diplomas. See the detailed statistics below.

After summer, we will also be in Verona, Italy at the Summer School “Quantum Languages Design and Implementation”, 23-28 September 2019.
