## Quantum transport workshop wrap-up
by Anton Akhmerov
---
We made an [online mini-workshop](https://virtualscienceforum.org/#/quantum-transport-workshop) about quantum transport
(check for videos + notebooks :point_up:)
Hosted by [Virtual Science Forum](https://virtualscienceforum.org)
---
## The event
- A single 4 hour session
- Topics: from intro to bleeding edge
- 1.5 hours for hands-on exercises
- Interactive computing via [ binder](https://mybinder.org/) :heart:
- Q&A via 14 instructor breakout rooms
---
## Participants
∼600 registrations, ∼350 joining
Varied seniority and background:
*(based on 60 survey replies)*
---
## Usefulness
Despite different backgrounds, something new for everyone
---
## Organizational remarks
- preparation takes 1-2 work days in total
- 95% pariticipants OK with online setting
- Online notebooks & hands-on sessions are great
- Q&A in breakout rooms works, but is chaotic
- 4 hours session is tough, should be shorter
- Balancing (slow/fast, easy/hard) is tricky
⇒ aim for variation
---
## Looking back
* Online workshops are useful and easy
* 100% would run one again
