The online course Computational Chemistry in Qiskit: A Practical Overview of Current Approaches will be organized by EuroCC Czechia on 12 March 2026.
This training session will introduce the most discussed quantum algorithms for chemistry, highlighting their principles, practical implementations, and typical application areas. Through hands-on demonstrations using the Qiskit software development kit, participants will explore how methods such as VQE, QPE, and other variational or perturbative hybrids can be applied to molecular problems. Attention will be given to the scaling of quantum and classical resource requirements, current hardware limitations, and the practical usability of these approaches in real-world chemical simulations. The course tutor is Michal Belina, a postdoctoral researcher at the Quantum Computing Laboratory within the IT4Innovations National Supercomputing Center.
In this intermediate-level session, participants will gain a clear overview of the current landscape of quantum and hybrid algorithms for computational chemistry, including practical examples of their application. They will also learn to critically assess the feasibility, resource requirements, and real-world usability of these approaches.
