 Mauricio Gómez V | * We have an ongoing project where various of us are developing tutorials on few qubit circuits | 15:27:38 |
| Mauricio Gómez V | If you are a student and you are interested please contact me directly to add you to our team channel. For teachers, I can also answer any questions now or during the week | 15:33:49 |
 manuel morgado | Maybe worth to mention that would be nice that other students also jump into the meetings in gathertown that Denis Janković has configure and the check out the UniStra Gitlab team repository where the material will be uploaded | 15:35:09 |
 Shannon Whitlock | Hi Mauricio - great initiative | 15:35:18 |
| Shannon Whitlock | * Hi Mauricio - great initiative! | 15:35:22 |
| manuel morgado | Also, if some profesor would like to participate as advisor would be great :) | 15:35:32 |

| Shannon Whitlock | * -* takes cover * ;) | 15:36:05 |
| Shannon Whitlock | what do you plan to do with the tutorials? | 15:36:41 |
| Mauricio Gómez V | Hi Shannon! The tutorials are working great for as self-training, using the power of quantum computers (at IBM) we assigned well know algorithms to various students to work on and get accustomed to the language of quantum circuits :-) | 15:38:52 |
| Mauricio Gómez V | afterwards each students can share it in our brandnew gitlab so we can all learn together | 15:39:18 |
| Mauricio Gómez V | we also have a very short shared tutorial on 1 qubit circuits and multiqubit circuits | 15:39:58 |
| Shannon Whitlock | sounds nice | 15:40:07 |

| Shannon Whitlock | maybe when you have build a collection of resources, it would be great to address students from different backgrounds | 15:41:39 |
| Shannon Whitlock | I get the impression that there are already a lot of material on Qiskit | 15:41:51 |
| Shannon Whitlock | but not enough tailored for students with backgrounds in chemistry, math, etc.. | 15:42:13 |
| manuel morgado | What content you think would be of interest for chemistry students? | 15:42:58 |
| manuel morgado | Is it possible that qmat can help to bridge with students in other disciplines | 15:43:30 |
| Mauricio Gómez V | That's true! We started with qiskit because there some suggested that we should try to get a certificate of IBM, at some point, but the idea is to continue next with other languages | 15:43:32 |

 Denis Janković | In reply to @whitlocksm:matrix.org
but not enough tailored for students with backgrounds in chemistry, math, etc.. Talking about that, there is a new subset of qiskit, called qiskit nature that's actually very oriented towards chemistry simulations. | 15:44:43 |

maybe when you have build a collection of resources, it would be great to address students from different backgrounds Sure, that's why we want to try to do a university event more than a physics event, we want to be able to discuss quantum information topics with students of different backgrounds | 15:46:15 |

| Denis Janković | I know that google (with cirq) and ionQ also have some chemistry oriented stuff.
On the other side, Microsoft seems pretty keen on math related stuff.
So I think thanks to these different platforms, a lot of multidisciplinary "hands-on Quantum Computing" stuff can be done.
Even engineering can be included through things like Quantum Azure from Microsoft or Qiskit Metal from IBM. | 15:48:15 |

Sure, that's why we want to try to do a university event more than a physics event, we want to be able to discuss quantum information topics with students of different backgrounds So I think there is a lot of things that can attract people from very different backgrounds. | 15:49:03 |
| Mauricio Gómez V | * We have now created a student team of about a dozen students, that meet together frequently to talk about quantum computing and train ourselves in subjects related to quantum information and quantum circuits | 15:49:06 |
| Denis Janković | Heck, there is even Quantum Machine Learning on the math side.
And even finance with Qiskit finance ! | 15:49:59 |
| Denis Janković | (Got a little bit ahead of myself, but the attractivity and multidisciplinary potential of a Quantum Computing Club sure looks enormous) | 15:51:37 |
