## Description

Say hello to the tiny world of qubits! In this session, we will go into hardware and software of quantum computers. How to write a quantum program, and how to access real quantum computers? We will do both things in a small live coding session and then ask two questions on the big future picture: What does responsible quantum technology development look like? And how can nature inspire us to write more efficient code?
