Welcome to the Quantum Realm.

Sundays are for sipping coffee, long reads, and our newsletter, of course. Enjoy this curation of easy-to-peruse links & resources in and around quantum.

I love to hear from you! Send me a message at [email protected] for musings, for fun, or for insight if it so appeals to you.

IN TODAY’S ISSUE:

• 3 weekend links to browse: Using Qiskit to execute quantum circuits, insights on the transition from theoretical to practical in terms of quantum computing for chemistry, and quantum for the climate.

• 2 resources to check out: How to contribute to Qiskit and its broader ecosystem, and a prototype for easily finding scientific talks on physics (including quantum information)

• 1 quote to ponder: Richard Feynman on lessons from his mother — Happy Mother’s Day!

WEEKEND BYTES

• Watch this video from the Qiskit YouTube channel featuring IBM Quantum Product Owner Jessie Yu who breaks down using Qiskit Runtime to execute quantum circuits. Plus, Jessie brings her classical development experience to the table to illuminate the differences between classical technologies and their quantum analogs.

• Listen to this podcast from The Quantum Era where IBM’s Jamie Garcia discusses the integration of quantum computing and chemistry, the transition from theoretical applications to practical uses, and the role of quantum computers in simulating complex chemical reactions and material science.

• Read this article from Forbes on the potential for quantum computing to revolutionize initiatives geared toward combating climate change from agricultural practices to more accurate climate modeling.

ENTANGLED INSIGHTS

QISKIT CONTRIBUTIONS

Abby Mitchell and Derek Wang walk you through how to contribute to Qiskit directly by filing a bug report/feature request, by supporting open-source projects that depend on Qiskit, or by creating your own open-source project that leverages Qiskit.

QUANTUM TALKS

Check out this prototype website that allows users easy access to scientific talks from various institutions through a meta-repository search tool, led by the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. The current-state platform features talks from partner institutes including CERN, the Simons Institute, and multiple ICTP locations. The content is based in and around physics, including quantum.

A recently uploaded talk is “Randomly Monitored Quantum Codes” that explores how many physical qubits need to be randomly measured to destroy information encoded in quantum error-correcting codes.

WORDS TO PONDER

UNTIL TOMORROW.
