It is suitable for students with a physics, nanoscience, computer science or mathematical background. Theologians and philosophers have also been known to try it out! +The language of instruction is English. ## Course Text The course will be based on the [Qiskit textbook](https://github.com/NCCR-SPIN/qiskit-textbook/blob/main/content/preface.ipynb). Links to specific pages will be given for each lecture. Note that this textbook is no longer maintained, and so does not reflect the most recent version of Qiskit. - ## Lectures -The course consists of the following set of lectures. We will aim to do slightly more than one per week. All lectures will be given in person, but [video versions](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLaU1vYImkPDxyqJ6zHAs8W92fYKsfXsV-) of many lectures are available also. Links to the pertinent parts of the Qiskit textbook can be found in the video descriptions. +The course consists of the following set of lectures. We will aim to do slightly more than one per week.
