Three-Day Workshop on Quantum Computing — Batch 2

Christ College of Engineering (Autonomous), Irinjalakuda, Kerala, in association with Biocodez LLP, presents a three-day experiential workshop on quantum computing for engineering students — 29 September – 1 October 2026, 8:30 AM to 4:00 PM daily.

Background and Rationale

Quantum computing represents a fundamental shift in the way information can be represented, processed and measured. It combines concepts from mathematics, computer science and quantum mechanics to develop computational models that differ fundamentally from conventional digital computing.

For engineering students, an early understanding of the mathematical and computational foundations of quantum computing provides a strong base for further study in quantum algorithms, quantum programming, quantum information science, quantum machine learning and emerging quantum technologies.

The workshop follows a technically rigorous but accessible progression. It begins with the mathematical language required to describe quantum states, moves through the transition from classical to quantum computation, develops the mathematical treatment of quantum gates and circuits, introduces the postulates relevant to quantum computation, and concludes with quantum simulation and hands-on circuit development. It is intended not as an awareness session but as a structured foundation for students who may wish to pursue advanced courses, projects, research or careers in quantum computing.

Objectives

• Introduce the mathematical foundations necessary for understanding quantum computation.

• Explain the transition from classical computing to the quantum computing paradigm.

• Develop an understanding of qubits, quantum states, superposition and measurement.

• Introduce vector and matrix representations used in quantum computation.

• Explain the mathematical structure and operation of fundamental quantum gates.

• Introduce tensor products and multi-qubit systems.

• Develop an understanding of quantum circuits and their mathematical representation.

• Introduce the fundamental postulates of quantum computation relevant to quantum information processing.

• Provide an introductory understanding of Quantum Machine Learning (QML) and its connection with quantum computation.

• Provide hands-on exposure to quantum simulation and quantum circuit implementation.

• Enable students to construct, execute and interpret basic quantum circuits.

• Motivate students to pursue advanced learning, projects and research in quantum computing.

Scope of the Workshop

The academic scope is organised around five interconnected themes:

• Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Computing — complex numbers, vectors, matrices, inner products, bra-ket notation, probability amplitudes, qubit representation and Bloch sphere intuition.

• Classical-to-Quantum Paradigm Shift — classical bits and logic, limitations of conventional computational models, qubits, quantum information, superposition, measurement and interference.

• Quantum Gates and Circuits — unitary transformations, single-qubit gates, multi-qubit gates, tensor products, controlled operations, circuit representation and entanglement.

• Postulates of Quantum Computation and QML — quantum states, evolution, measurement, composite systems and an introductory view of quantum machine learning.

• Quantum Simulation and Hands-on Implementation — quantum simulators, circuit construction, gate application, execution, measurement, visualisation and interpretation of results.

Learning Outcomes

At the end of the workshop, participants are expected to be able to:

• Use basic mathematical concepts such as complex numbers, vectors and matrices in the context of quantum computation.

• Represent a qubit using state vectors and Dirac notation.

• Explain superposition, probability amplitudes and measurement.

• Describe the conceptual differences between classical and quantum computation.

• Represent and analyse fundamental quantum gates using matrices.

• Understand unitary operations and their role in quantum circuits.

• Use tensor products to describe simple multi-qubit systems.

• Construct and interpret simple quantum circuits.

• Explain the basic postulates underlying quantum computation.

• Describe the basic relationship between quantum computing and Quantum Machine Learning.

• Use a quantum simulator to implement and execute basic circuits using IBM Qiskit.

• Analyse measurement outcomes and probability distributions from quantum simulations.

• Demonstrate superposition and entanglement through simple quantum circuits.

• Identify pathways for further study in quantum algorithms, quantum programming and QML.

Who Can Attend

Engineering students of Christ College of Engineering, Irinjalakuda. To keep the sessions interactive and hands-on, the programme runs separately for each batch — please register for the batch assigned to you.

Teaching and Training Methodology

The workshop adopts a blended conceptual and experiential approach. Mathematical concepts are introduced with intuitive explanations and visual representations before being connected to quantum circuits and practical implementation.

• Interactive concept-oriented lectures

• Mathematical derivations and worked examples

• Visualisation of quantum states and operations

• Quantum circuit demonstrations and live simulation

• Hands-on programming and experimentation

• Interpretation of measurement outcomes

• Problem-solving and guided exercises

• Interactive question-and-answer sessions

Resource Persons

Sessions are led by resource persons from the Centre for Quantum Computing and the Department of Information Technology, Kannur University. The final allocation of resource persons may be modified by Biocodez LLP in consultation with Christ College, based on academic requirements and resource-person availability.

What to Bring

Participants are requested to bring a laptop for the hands-on sessions. The final software and platform requirements will be communicated by Biocodez LLP in advance.

Certification

All registered participants who successfully complete the three-day workshop may be awarded a Certificate of Participation (e-certificate) for the workshop titled “Quantum Computing: Mathematical Foundations, Quantum Gates, Circuits and Simulation”. The certificate may be jointly issued by Christ College of Engineering, Irinjalakuda, and Biocodez LLP, subject to the approval of the College Management and fulfilment of the programme requirements.
