Problem sets, certification and projects
Problem sets:
Attendees will be provided a problem set at the end of Day 1 and Day 2, consisting of theoretical and coding problems. Attendees are encouraged to attempt these on their own. Some problems of the Day 1 problem set will be discussed in tutorial 2.
Certificates:
Workshop participants are required to attend all lectures to receive a certificate of participation. However, attending the tutorials or solving the problem sets are not required to obtain certificates.
Digital participation certificates will be sent to the registered mail IDs after the event.
Projects:
After Day 2 of the workshop, attendees are encouraged to form teams and work on any related project for a week till 12th September 11:59PM. It may be contributing to an existing project, a new project, a new project proposal/idea, a review/presentation/blog post on topics related to that covered in the workshop. Good projects may be featured on our website and social media handles and detailed proposals with potential will be sent to potential collaborators for you to work/intern with.
Participants are not required to submit projects for certificates.

The registered participants will also receive an invite to the registered mail ID to the workshop slack workspace to interact with the volunteers/mentors and participants during the workshop.
Will I get certified for the workshop?
Yes, all registered participants would receive a certificate of participation.
What is a public lecture/talk?
A public lecture/talk is usually a lecture with little to no background required to understand, often highlighting the main ideas of the work/field and motivates the field.
Do I need to register for the workshop to attend the public talk on 5th September?
No, the public talk on quantum communication in space is open to all members of the public. To receive the link to join the talk, please fill this form.
Do I need to install any software in my laptop for the tutorials?
Yes, the registered participants will be sent instructions, including the software to install prior to the workshop.
Do I need to be very good at mathematics to understand the tutorials and lectures?
No, the required mathematics will be covered in tutorials 0 and any further doubts will be answered during the workshop.
Do I need to attend the tutorial 0 on 3rd September 2021?
No, you need not attend tutorial 0, as it covers the prerequisites for the workshop. If you are not well-versed with concepts like linear algebra, python coding, and basic ideas of communication, it is suggested to attend.
Whom should I contact for any further queries?
You may contact the coordinator Praveen Jayakumar (jpraveen@iisc.ac.in) by E-mail.
