Embark on a 30-day journey, starting May-1-2024, into the quantum realm. Learn, share, compete, and win!
Well, they say it takes 21 days to form a habit, (BS tho) but we're giving you a few extra days just to be sure. And why an hour a day? It's the Goldilocks of time commitments - not too long, not too short, but just right!
As a participant of the Quantum30 Challenge, I solemnly pledge to:
Commit to Consistency: I will dedicate at least one hour each day to learning about quantum computing, recognizing that consistency is key to mastery.
Embrace Curiosity: I will approach each topic with an open mind and a thirst for knowledge, ready to dive into the fascinating world of quantum technology.
Share My Journey: I will share my daily learnings with the community, understanding that teaching is a powerful form of learning.
Support My Peers: I will engage with my fellow learners, offering support, sharing insights, and fostering a collaborative learning environment.
Respect the Process: I will honor the process of learning, understanding that it's about progress, not perfection. I will celebrate my successes, learn from my mistakes, and always strive to do better.
Embrace Failure: I acknowledge that failure is a part of the learning process. If I stumble, I will quickly get back up, learn from the experience, and continue my journey with renewed determination.
Uphold Integrity: I will act with honesty and integrity throughout this challenge, submitting only my own work and giving credit where credit is due.
By taking this oath, I commit to making the most of the Quantum30 Challenge, to growing as a learner, and to contributing positively to our QuantumComputingIndia community.

Quantum Mechanics and Quantum Computing is something which is partly taught in school . There were some questions which were not solved because of the shortage of time at school.On following the roadmap given by QCI I was able to channelise my preparation and could get my doubts cleared.
#quantum30 - A focused August learning marathon dedication to 2-hours of distraction free daily study in quantum cryptography for unforgettable conceptual mastery.
This immersive journey into the realm of quantum computing has been nothing short of transformative. The dynamic and robust learning paths, with so much welcoming community adds the cherry to the top.
"The #Quantum30 challenge offered specialized routes, and I chose Quantum Machine Learning (#QML). The self-paced setup suited me perfectly, and the added neuroscience guide boosted my learning. What stood out even more was the vibrant community – a hub of shared insights, questions, and discussions. It's more than just learning; it's a supportive network that enhances the entire experience. If you're eager to explore quantum computing, the #Quantum30 challenge is the way to go!"

Day1 of every month!
The #Quantum30 Challenge is a 30-day learning journey into the world of quantum computing organized by QuantumComputingIndia.
Participants commit to learning about quantum computing for at least one hour each day and share their learning journey on social media to build their personal brand.
Anyone with an interest in quantum computing can participate in the #Quantum30 Challenge. Whether you're a beginner or have some experience, this challenge is designed to enhance your understanding and spark your curiosity in quantum technology.
To participate, you need to follow a learning path provided by Quantum Computing India (QCI) or choose your own path/book related to quantum computing. You then share your learning journey daily as a blog post, LinkedIn post, or Twitter thread, tagging QCI and using the hashtag #Quantum30.
The goal of the #Quantum30 Challenge is to promote consistency in learning. However, we understand that life can sometimes get in the way. If you miss a day, try to make it up when you can. Remember, the aim is to learn and grow!
You earn 1 point for each day's submission. After one week, the impressions on your post will be measured and normalized to a scale of 5, giving you additional points.
The leaderboard is a ranking of participants based on the points they've earned. It's open and visible to all. Weekly leaders and final leaders (top 3) will be announced and stand a chance to win exclusive gifts from QCI and TBA sponsors.
The weekly catch-ups are sessions where participants can discuss their learnings and clarify any doubts. It's a great way to learn from and interact with fellow quantum enthusiasts.
Participants can enhance their understanding of quantum computing, share and discuss their insights with a community of like-minded learners, build their personal brand in the Quantum Tech community, gain recognition and points for their learning efforts, and stand a chance to win exclusive gifts from QCI and TBA sponsors.
That's perfectly fine! The #Quantum30 Challenge is designed to accommodate both beginners and those with some experience. The learning resources provided will help you understand the basics and gradually delve into more complex topics.
To maximize your learning, engage actively with the resources, participate in the weekly catch-ups, and don't hesitate to ask questions or seek clarification on your learnings. Remember, the goal is not just to earn points, but to truly understand and appreciate the fascinating world of quantum computing.
Creating a competitive environment is a key step in learning ecosystems.
The impact of a competitive environment on learning in humans can vary depending on individual factors and the specific context of the learning experience. Some research suggests that competition can enhance learning and performance in certain situations, while in others, it may have a detrimental effect.
Competition can create a sense of motivation and engage individuals in the learning process. When people are competing against others, they may be more likely to exert effort, focus their attention, and apply themselves to tasks in order to outperform their peers 1. Competition can also provide a performance goal, which can increase motivation and drive individuals to learn and improve their skills
Furthermore, competition can stimulate the release of dopamine, a neurotransmitter associated with motivation and reward. Dopamine can enhance attention, memory, and cognitive processing, potentially leading to improved learning outcomes
However, it is important to note that the effect of competition on learning is not universally positive. Excessive competition or a highly stressful competitive environment can have negative consequences for learning. Excessive pressure and stress can lead to cognitive overload, anxiety, and decreased cognitive performance. In such cases, the focus may shift from learning and understanding to simply trying to win or outperform others.
