Excited to announce that I will be leading the final workshop, "Quantum with String Diagrams," in our Quantum Barsaat series! This will be a self-contained workshop (but it will be intense, so buckle up). The cool thing about this workshop is that just using diagrams (and naive set theory), we will explore fascinating quantum and mathematical concepts such as: 1. Why the dimension of quantum systems scales exponentially with the number of particles. 2. A diagrammatic description of transpose, adjoint, and conjugation (without matrices!). 3. Deriving the standard matrix operations from the above visual counterparts. 4. Why we can't clone quantum states (a major reason behind the security of quantum money and other cryptographic protocols). 5. How quantum teleportation works and whether there is classical teleportation. 6. Why nature prefers unitary operators (Hint: It has something to do with Einstein). 7. A visual description of pure and mixed quantum states. 8. A visual description of the quantum cryptographic protocol BB84. So, what are you waiting for?

Everything will be explained without any assumptions of prior knowledge. #qpakistan

So, who can you expect to hear from? 🤔  In partnership with The Quantum Insider (Resonance), we interviewed 𝘁𝘄𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗲 global experts, including Jérémie Guillaud, Nicolas Delfosse, Barbara Terhal, and John Martinis. The QEC Report 2024 will give you access to their views on the current state of the industry and their predictions for the future. 👉 View our full list of report contributors here and sign up now to be sent the report when it's released later this month: /https://lnkd.in/eDMutzbB.  #quantumcomputing | #quantumerrorcorrection | #TheQECReport2024 

✨ Unleashing the Power of Quantum Computing in Europe! Alongside German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, senior European government officials and European-based global enterprises, IBM unveiled the first IBM Quantum Data Center located outside of the United States yesterday. What a significant achievement in the field of quantum computing! Located in Ehningen, Germany, this state-of-the-art facility marks a major expansion of IBM’s utility-scale fleet of quantum computers. The new @IBM Quantum data center will soon be equipped with the IBM Quantum Heron-based system, with 16 times better performance, and a 25-fold increase in speed compared to IBM Quantum systems from 2022. This represents a significant leap forward in the field, opening up new possibilities for innovation and discovery! Learn more about the new data center and how it will shape the future of quantum computing in Europe: https://lnkd.in/dXykmfQ7

Aaand it's a wrap! We concluded Day 6 IEEE #qce24 Workshop Sessions « WKS36 Real-time Decoding and Control of Fault-Tolerant Systems » co-organized by Qblox and Riverlane Great sessions and very insightful discussions throughout the day with: Namitha Liyanage Yale University, Thomas Alexander IBM, Michael Newman Google, Abbas Bracken Ziad Joan Camps Kenton Barnes Riverlane, Sophia Lin Amazon Web Services (AWS) University of Chicago, Shival Dasu Quantinuum, Narges Alavisamani Georgia Institute of Technology My personal 3 takeaways: 1. The focus is shifting from one real-time decoder to many decoders and to their integration with the control system 2. Fault tolerant quantum computers on the scale of 10k-100k qubits will require modularity across every single layer of the software and hardware stack 3. The next big milestone is going to be to demonstrate logical two-qubit operation in real time Realizing fault-tolerant quantum computing is not an easy task. If you want to discuss your challenges and/or collaborate with us, we are happy to chat about it!

"There is No Now: Problems with Simultaneity in Distributed Systems" by Justin Sheehy explores the inherent challenges of achieving simultaneity in distributed computing environments. The article delves into the physical limitations and potential failures that prevent systems from sharing a unified perception of time, emphasizing the complexities of synchronizing clocks across distributed networks. https://lnkd.in/ecTvSTDG

It was an honour to join the inauguration of IBM's first quantum data centre in Germany with Chancellor Olaf Scholz and global quantum leaders. The European quantum data center gives a strong signal of international collaboration and that quantum computing is coming. But there are also practical benefits. As quantum computing matures, we must increasingly think about how we securely and efficiently handle data between HPC and quantum resources. I'm sure the new data center will help there! Still the most interesting question remains; how are we going to use these machines best? Isabell Gradert Jasper Simon Krauser Pascal Brier Jay Gambetta
