Prerecorded · September 14–25, 2026 · Ten days
SC Quantathon v3 Bootcamp
About
The bootcamp is the run-up to SC Quantathon v3, one entry per weekday from Monday, September 14 through Friday, September 25, the two weeks leading into the hackathon. It is entirely prerecorded: each day has a short video, written notes, and a notebook you can run, so you can work through it whenever suits you and come back to anything you want to see again. Nothing is live and nothing is graded.
The ten days build from the basics up. The first week covers what a qubit is, how gates and measurements work, and how to write and run a circuit in Qiskit on a simulator and on real hardware. The second week moves to the tools and ideas the challenges lean on, so that when the sponsor briefs are released on Saturday morning you already recognize the pieces.
It is meant for people who have never written a quantum circuit before, but anyone registered for the hackathon is welcome to use it. All content is TBD for now; each day below fills in as its video, notes, and notebook are posted.
