A laptop or computer Reliable internet connection A willingness to learn and contribute

Yes! We're always looking for technical mentors, career coaches, and guest speakers. Reach out to: hello@thewiser.org

Absolutely. We partner with research labs, companies, and public institutions to co-design content, host challenges, and offer speaker sessions. To get involved: hello[at]thewiser.org

Do not worry! The welcome emails are sent out in batches, so it is not easy to guarantee exactly when you'll get it, especially for those who joined after June 2nd. However, rest assured that the email will come, if you are concerned please get in touch at hello@thewiser.org

First, ensure that you have the welcome email from WISER, not the email from Lu.Ma with the calendar events and Zoom link. Look for the email with the subject line: "Welcome to the 2025 Quantum Summer Program" In that email, scroll to the section titled: Your enrollment ID. This ID is unique to you and is used to confirm your registration in Canvas and prevent duplicate entries. Still can’t find it? Search your inbox for the subject line above, or check your spam/junk folder just in case.

We recommend: Basic Python programming Introductory linear algebra (vectors and matrices) A foundational understanding of physics concepts (high school physics) We support a broad range of experience levels and provide sessions to help you ramp up quickly.

Yes. Each year offers new content, projects, speakers, and opportunities. We welcome returning applicants.

Yes. You'll have access to: Mentor office hours A dedicated community platform (Discord) for Q&A and peer collaboration

We provide certificates of completion for course participants, but not letters of recommendation. If you're working on a QSL project or a similar initiative, you may be eligible for a letter.

Follow these steps to troubleshoot: Use the correct link. Make sure you’re clicking the Canvas enrollment link in “Step 1” under the “Canvas Learning Platform” section of the welcome email. ❌ Do NOT try to access the course through the Canvas app or by going directly to canvas.instructure.com. Create a Canvas account. If you don’t already have one, the link will prompt you to create a new account. Use the same email address you used to register for the program on Lu.Ma. Choose your own password. Having trouble clicking the 'Enroll' button? Sometimes, the page may lag. If the Enroll button doesn’t activate after you enter your details, refresh the page a few times. This usually resolves the issue. After enrollment Once successfully enrolled, you’ll be able to access the Canvas course homepage and all related materials through the course link.

To access the full course content, you must first complete the "Getting Started" module at the top of the Modules page. This includes: Pre-Program Survey (You’ll need your Enrollment ID from the welcome email.) 🔓 Once the survey is complete, additional modules will unlock automatically as we reach the relevant sessions in the course. A few important notes: The "Getting Started" module does not count toward any certificates. Don’t worry about the grades you see for these initial assignments—they're just for onboarding and context.

In each module, you will see the assignments "1.0 Get started: QBronze Installation and Test" and "2.0 Get Started: QNickel by QWorld". These "assignments" are not really assignments and do not count for your grade towards the certificate. They only contain the instructions on accessing the Jupyter notebooks for you to practice the relevant concepts in the other assignments of the module. You do not need to complete all of the Jupyter notebooks, you can go through them at your own pace, but certain quizzes will tell you the exact notebooks that most closely cover the quiz's material.

Each assignment will list your “Allowed Attempts”—most allow up to 3 tries. There are no time limits, but Canvas will track how long you spend on each attempt. Only your highest score counts toward your module average and certificate eligibility. Example: If you score 40%, 90%, and 70% on your three attempts, Canvas will record 90% as your final score for that assignment. Taking multiple attempts does NOT impact your certificate negatively—feel free to use them to improve your score!

You can find the deadlines for each module on the home page of the Canvas course, along with their respective deadlines. We will consider extensions in specific circumstances but you still need to: Complete all assignments in the module Meet the score requirements (at least 50% per assignment and a 70% average overall) Submit them before the final deadline listed on the Canvas homepage You can find the official module deadlines and the Final Certificate deadline on the Canvas course homepage.

Nope! The resources provided in Canvas are generally sufficient for understanding the quizzes. In several assignments, you will see that when you first open it, there are videos of previously recorded lectures on the subject, as well as lecture slides, and recommended Jupyter notebooks to study for that quiz. Use these as a strong starting point to understanding the material for the certificate. Lecture attendance is not a requirement towards your certificate, and may not offer many of you the detailed and personal guidance you'd prefer in order to understand the material. For this reason, we strongly encourage you all to help each other in the server. Ask questions - someone else is certainly struggling with the same thing! And offer each other guidance in your answers. DO NOT post answers, but do help!

1. Check Spam/Junk Folder Sometimes Canvas password reset emails get filtered. Search for emails and check your spam and promotional folders 2. Wait and Retry Email delays can occur. Wait at least 15–30 minutes before retrying. If you've already tried multiple times, avoid excessive reset requests — this can sometimes trigger email suppression by the system. 3. Try Password Reset from Canvas Directly Go to the Canvas login page (e.g., yourinstitution.instructure.com) and click: "Forgot Password?" Enter the email address you used during your application. Make sure: 1) You typed the email address exactly as you used it on your application form. 2) You select the correct Canvas instance (e.g., some schools or programs use a separate subdomain) More information is here > https://community.canvaslms.com/t5/Canvas-Basics-Guide/How-do-I-reset-my-Canvas-password/ta-p/446128
