NCSA invites you to gain practical experience with PennyLane in a workshop led by Xanadu!
Xanadu is a Canadian quantum computing company with the mission to build quantum computers that are useful and available to people everywhere. Founded in 2016, Xanadu has become one of the world’s leading quantum hardware and software companies. The company also leads the development of PennyLane, an open-source software library for quantum computing and application development. Visit www.xanadu.ai or follow on LinkedIn.
PennyLane is built by researchers, for research. With the ability to run on most hardware (CPU, GPU, QPU), it’s used to pioneer developments in quantum machine learning, quantum chemistry, and quantum computing.
In this workshop you’ll learn how to run your own quantum algorithms, and learn the tools to do cutting-edge research and development in quantum computing. Get ready for the workshop by exploring the PennyLane Codebook and pennylane.ai.
