Title: "First algorithms and research tools with Qiskit"

Abstract: In this tutorial we will learn how to run a first quantum algorithm with Qiskit. We will then dive deeper into dynamic circuits, a capability available on IBM’s quantum hardware, and learn about their different applications, such as the creation of long-range entanglement in a shallow quantum circuit. Finally, we will discuss different error mitigation and error suppression techniques to utilize noisy hardware already today.

Instructions for students: Create an account at the IBM Quantum Platform: quantum.ibm.com if you want to run the code yourself.

Title: "Efficient Long-Range Entanglement using Dynamic Circuits"

Abstract: Quantum simulation traditionally relies on unitary dynamics, inherently imposing efficiency constraints on the generation of intricate entangled states. In principle, these limitations can be superseded by non-unitary, dynamic circuits. These circuits exploit measurements alongside conditional feed-forward operations, providing a promising approach for long-range entangling gates, higher effective connectivity of near-term hardware, and more efficient state preparations. Here, we explore the utility of shallow dynamic circuits for creating long-range entanglement on large-scale quantum devices.
