Recent progress on quantum computing hardware, especially in superconducting qubit systems, highlights the need for practical programming models and tools for these first devices. In particular, many near-term applications are quantum/classical hybrid algorithms, that treat the quantum computer as a co-processor. In this workshop, we present an open source quantum programming toolkit targeting near-term applications and devices. This toolkit includes an intermediate quantum instruction language (Quil) and Python libraries for generating and executing Quil code in either a simulated environment or on a quantum processor. This workshop will be interactive, so bring your laptops and Python 2.7 installations!
