Assalamu Alaikum ,
FYI , 
There was an introductory seminar today(16th May, 3-4PM) on IBM Quantum Computing challenge posted at the following NAYS FB page
 https://www.facebook.com/nayspakistan/posts/3117119378340480

Quantum computing is the use of quantum-mechanical phenomena such as superposition and entanglement to perform computation. Computers that perform quantum computation are known as quantum computers.[1]:I-5 Quantum computers are believed to be able to solve certain computational problems, such as integer factorization (which underlies RSA encryption), substantially faster than classical computers. The study of quantum computing is a subfield of quantum information science.  (Wikipedia)


An introductory video on quantum computing was recently shared by Professor Rashad Ramzan (NUCES Isb) ,which is also available on [1] Qiskit youtube channel (IBM Quantum Computing Programming) ,discussed later 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OWJCfOvochA&list=PLOFEBzvs-Vvrrrwy0NwQoonhYxMSHk0p6

[2]  I found the short videos of D-Wave Systems(canada) ,a Quantum Computing Company,  explanatory with animations and real hardware labs which are also shared. 
 
"D-Wave was the world's first company to sell computers to exploit quantum effects in their operation.D-Wave's early customers include Lockheed Martin, University of Southern California, Google/NASA and Los Alamos National Lab". wikipedia

[3]  An introductory lecture on google AI quantum computing team's cirq (python framework) is also there .

[4]  Additionally there is a complete course on quantum mechanics by Professor Parvez HoodBhoy and another interesting separate  video  on quantum mechanics discussing Violation of  First Law of Thermodynamics for a Short Period of Time and Misconceptions of Einstein .   
   
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I did not attend the seminar but  still  there are  resources available on internet for the intro/programming on IBM Cloud Quantum Computers.   

From The Main Website https://quantum-computing.ibm.com/challenges
"We would like to invite you to celebrate the fourth anniversary of IBM Quantum Experience with four quantum programming exercises to solve in four days.
In four years, over 200,000 users, including 105 client partners, have collaborated with us to execute over 175 billion circuits on our 18 quantum systems and counting.
We would like to invite you to celebrate the fourth anniversary of IBM Quantum Experience with four quantum programming"

mashAllah Sir,

Please convey my message to Sir Pervez Hoodbhoy. It is really nice to know about this field, after my professional field, this field is my passion and I love to explore lectures on it. It helps us in establishing a better understanding of how to Understand the existence of God.

I am looking into the last two links and found another incredible link on youtube. I think it will give us the relevant content from the area of my interest, maybe others would also love to learn.

With regards,

Dr. Umema Hani, 
Faculty Software Engineering, CoCIS, PAF Kiet.
Previously-Process Improvement consultant iLMA University, Karachi.
Faculty Assistant Professor, CSD, COMSATS, Lahore,
