DESCRIPTION:Quantum computing is often introduced either through high-level
  circuit abstractions or through heavy theoretical formalism. Developers f
 requently struggle to bridge the gap between textbook concepts\, real algo
 rithms\, and hardware-aware execution. This tutorial provides a practical\
 , hands-on introduction to quantum computing using QiliSDK\, a Python fram
 ework designed to support both digital and analog workflows in a unified a
 nd modular way.\n\nThe session begins with the foundations: qubits\, quant
 um states\, gates\, and measurement. Participants will implement basic cir
 cuits and understand how quantum programs are constructed\, simulated\, an
 d executed. From there\, we move to algorithmic patterns such as variation
 al circuits and Hamiltonian-based workflows\, demonstrating how quantum pr
 ograms can be expressed in a clean and composable API.\n\nThe core value o
 f the tutorial is depth without unnecessary abstraction. Attendees will no
 t only build and simulate quantum circuits\, but also explore time evoluti
 on\, noise models\, and backend selection. We will demonstrate how the sam
 e high-level program can target different execution layers\, including sim
 ulators and hardware-oriented backends. For advanced participants\, we wil
 l introduce pulse-level programming concepts\, showing how quantum operati
 ons map to control-level primitives and how pulse-based experiments can be
  expressed in the SDK.\n\nBy the end of the tutorial\, participants will h
 ave:\n\n- A clear understanding of core quantum computing concepts.\n- Han
 ds-on experience building and simulating quantum circuits.\n- Exposure to 
 variational and Hamiltonian-based workflows.\n- Insight into noise modelin
 g and realistic execution.\n- An understanding of how circuit-level abstra
 ctions connect to pulse-level control.\n\nThis tutorial is designed for de
 velopers and researchers who want a practical entry point into quantum com
 puting without sacrificing architectural clarity. Prior experience with Py
 thon is required. No prior quantum computing knowledge is assumed\, though
  basic linear algebra familiarity is helpful.
