Have you ever been looking for a job? Have you ever written a CV? Do you think you'll need to do this at some point in future? I got you covered! Here's my new blogpost on the topic of writing CVs, with the focus on QC jobs: mustythoughts.com/quantum-cv…

We’re excited to introduce Construct, the first purpose-built software platform for fault-tolerant quantum computing.​​ ​​ Designing, developing, and optimizing fault-tolerant quantum algorithms.  ​ bit.ly/psiquantum-construct

Together with my friend Konrad, we're launching a newsletter about quantum software engineering. Every week we'll send a snippet of knowledge about writing software for quantum computing, learned the hard way. Both for researchers and software devs. qse-newsletter.com

Announcing Unitary Foundation Unitary Fund got started in June 2018 with a blogpost, $6k, and a microgrant program. At the time, the quantum industry was just emerging. I wrote: "Quantum computing also remains a place where small teams and open research projects can make a big difference… My thesis for what’s happening here is that we are codifying, in open source software, the mathematics of quantum computing that have been developed over the last few decades. This makes the field more accessible and interactive. It allows us to progress faster, together. It is much more effective to stand on the shoulders of giants when you can import them as an API." I still believe this. And I believe it even more for what has happened in quantum technology as a whole sector over the last 6.5 years. The Unitary Fund experiment has supported the truth of this statement and itself has grown so much. We gave our 100th microgrant last year! I am grateful and encouraged by the many of you who have made this happen so successfully: our supporters, team, advisors, microgrants, community and many others.. With this help, we have expanded beyond our core microgrant program. We now: - staff an in-house technical team working on public goods in quantum tech - develop mitiq: the main cross-platform open source error-mitigating compiler - run metriq: an open source platform for quantum tech benchmarks - run unitaryHack bounty programs, a community discord, and the major global quantum developer survey - publish research on quantum compilation, benchmarking, and foundations We are now more than a micro-grant fund. All of these programs accelerate our drive to build the open foundation for the quantum technology ecosystem. To better represent our growth, we are re-branding as Unitary Foundation (@unitaryfdn). Though we have a new name, our mission remains the same: Unitary Foundation: creating a quantum technology ecosystem that benefits the most people. Want to join us on this mission?

My thoughts after the IEEE Quantum Week 2024 mustythoughts.com/quantum-we… TL;DR: - Conference was great - We need better abstraction hierarchy (see our paper: arxiv.org/abs/2405.13918) - We need some standardization - Results of DARPA's QB program are visible - QRE workshop summary

We’re back with cohort 10 of our Quantum Computing #Mentorship Program! Through the program, QOSF connects quantum enthusiasts with mentors from academia and industry. Learn more about the program: lnkd.in/gNrAux3 Application for Mentors - lnkd.in/diZPae83

Contribute to the 2024 Quantum Open Source Software Survey until the end of October. Share your demographics, community involvement, research, and tech tools to shape the quantum computing world. Results will be made public later this year. Survey link: buff.ly/3ML5X1x.

always wanted to write something about tks, tech culture, and disillusionment. shit's complicated, man. this is such a common experience but it's not represented in online discourse?

🚀 Our #monthlychallenges are back with an exciting twist! We've teamed up with @ClassiqTech for a special collaboration. Join our community: shorturl.at/EO35a Classiq Community Slack: lnkd.in/d_Heg5pv

🌟 Exciting News! 🌟 Join us at the IEEE QCE24 in Montréal on Sept 20, 2024, for a workshop on "Academic and Professional Training in Quantum Computing: The Importance of Open-source." Learn from industry leaders and expand your network! #QuantumComputing #OpenSource #QCE24 #IEEE

It's an active day on the arXiv for the QSI team! Two papers emerging from the DARPA Quantum Benchmarking program (scirate.com/arxiv/2406.18759 and scirate.com/arxiv/2406.18764) and another (scirate.com/arxiv/2406.19060) by @Ithilia_V a fellow at Macquarie and long-term visitor to our Centre.

This Thursday (June 13th) Brian Goldsmith will be giving a talk titled: "A Survey of Quantum Resource Estimation Tools". It's part of the preparations for QRE Challenge (details: sites.google.com/view/qce202…) . Register (and more details) here: forms.gle/EEn8KRK3TtNHhxyL7

We’ve just announced our Quantum Resource Estimation Format (QREF) and the beta-release of Bartiq, a Quantum Resource Estimator. These open-source resources automate the complex and inefficient tasks in developing fault-tolerant algorithms. psiquantum.com/news-import/p…

I have transcribed my blogpost series about VQAs into a single cohesive PDF and posted in arXiv! I thought that this form might be more useful for people to use as a reference with everything in one place. The link is here: arxiv.org/abs/2402.15879

Hey everyone! QRE community is back again with another presentation & panel discussion, this time learning from Amara Katarwala & the Zapata team on their results on Early FTQC: arxiv.org/abs/2311.14814 Thursday February 1st, at 9am PST/12pm EST. Sign up: bit.ly/3HpoaPB

I've (finally) written the summary of QRE workshops that I co-organized in Seattle in September 2023. We had amazing speakers and a great event! If the topics of QRE, QEC, or FTQC algos interest you, then I think it will be an interesting read! mustythoughts.com/qre-worksh…

Do you work on variational quantum algorithms or quantum machine learning? If so, please check our latest article: arxiv.org/abs/2312.09121 Here, we ask: Are barren plateau-free models classically simulable? Should we rethink variational QC as a whole? LONG 🧵 below 1/n

🧵1/ Today at @unitaryfund we released the results of the 2023 Quantum Open Source Survey. Lots of interesting data on the current status of software for quantum computing and we start to see some trends as this is the second year in a row. Short thread with my top picks.

I've written a blogpost about being nice to strangers, I hope you'll like it :) mustythoughts.com/random-act…
