Published in Qiskit·Nov 16Call for OpenQASM Technical Steering Committee NomineesBy the OpenQASM TSC Back in 2021, we launched a technical steering committee (TSC) for OpenQASM. In order to stagger the terms of the TSC members and provide leadership continuity, the terms of three current TSC members will end soon. The 3 TSC members with terms ending are: Blake Johnson…Openqasm2 min readOpenqasm2 min read
Published in Qiskit·Nov 4An introduction to Quantum Natural Language ProcessingBy Amin Karamlou, Marcel Pfaffhauser, and James Wootton Today we’re going to talk about how you can use IBM Quantum computers for generating natural language and music. We’ve made the Python notebook for generating the pieces of music used as examples in this post available on our GitHub repository. Feel…Python10 min readPython10 min read
Published in Qiskit·Oct 31Quantum Maxwell’s Demon: Trick? Or Treat?By Maria Violaris, PhD student at the University of Oxford Happy Halloween! You’re throwing a quantum-themed costume party where Sally is dressed as Schrödinger’s cat, Alice and Bob are a spookily entangled pair, and mischievous Eve is a quantum Maxwell’s Demon. But why is Eve acting so strangely? She stands…Quantum Computing8 min readQuantum Computing8 min read
Published in Qiskit·Oct 26Simulating topological systems on noisy quantum computers using QiskitBy Bruna Shinohara de Mendonça, Qiskit Advocate In 1938, the Italian physicist Ettore Majorana wrote a letter to his university’s dean saying he needed to sail away. He was never seen again. But even during his life, he produced mysteries — he postulated the existence of mysterious particles called “Majorana…Quantum Computing4 min readQuantum Computing4 min read
Published in Qiskit·Oct 18100 seminars and 130 watch-years: Qiskit Seminar Series connects the research community on YouTubeBy Zlatko Minev Science, education, and personal growth thrive on exposure to new ideas, fresh discussions, and unexpected questions. These ingredients fuel our quantum community. But March, 2020 drastically upended this — and so, the Qiskit Seminar Series was born. …Qiskit4 min readQiskit4 min read
Published in Qiskit·Oct 12Calculate Quantum Euclidean Distance with QiskitBy Helen Urgelles, Universitat Politècnica de València Calculating distance is a crucial operation in many fields. We define Euclidean distance, specifically, as the length of a line segment between two points in Euclidean space, where Euclidean space is the most fundamental way we represent space in geometry. Many of us…Quantum Computing4 min readQuantum Computing4 min read
