Our Origin

Started on WhatsApp. Became a movement

In early 2026, a single message went out to a small group of students curious about quantum computing. No funding. No institution. Just a question: what if we learned this together?

The response was immediate. Within days, hundreds of people had joined — students, researchers, developers, and professionals at every level of quantum familiarity. That first session ran on nothing but curiosity and a Google Meet link.

Now, 60 days later, we meet every Sunday at 4 PM without fail. Six cities. One community. The barrier to deep tech was never ability — it was access. We are fixing that.

How it works

Every Sunday is three acts

PART 01

UPDATES

Weekly Tech Digest

What happened in quantum computing this week. Papers, breakthroughs, industry moves — curated and discussed.

PART 02

LEARNING

Concept Deep Dive

One member teaches. Everyone learns. From Shor's algorithm to error correction — one concept explored deeply.

PART 03

SHOWCASE

Member Spotlight

Members present their projects, research, or ideas. Real work from the community, live every Sunday.

Monthly Challenge

Build real quantum tools. Together

Every month, we ship one open-source quantum tool as a community. One problem statement. One repository. Contributions at every level. A finished product by month end.

Quantum Circuit Simulator

qcsim

A state vector quantum circuit simulator with an interactive terminal UI, Python API, and a community-contributed circuit library. Built by the community, for the community.

Reference implementation ships with:

  • State vector simulator — up to 20 qubits
  • Interactive terminal circuit builder (arrow-key navigation)
  • Python API with method chaining
  • Kronecker + Tensor simulation backends
  • 52 passing tests
  • Community circuit library with SHA-256 deduplication

Contribution tiers — pick your level:

Beginner

  • Submit circuits to the community library
  • Test the CLI and file bug reports
  • Explore the visual circuit builder — no coding needed

Intermediate

  • Add new quantum gates (step-by-step guide included)
  • Improve CLI commands and output formatting
  • Write additional test cases

Advanced

  • Build a Bloch sphere visualiser
  • Implement noise models
  • Connect to IBM Quantum or IonQ hardware
  • GPU backend or density matrix simulation
