The wait is over — the 𝟱𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗻𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆𝗛𝗔𝗖𝗞 has officially begun!
💻 Join us at buff.ly/wv8LDg3 for a bug-bounty-style hackathon to improve open-source quantum tools.
Open to all skill levels—earn rewards & gain experience!

In many #QML applications, a key ingredient is to extrapolate derivatives from #quantum circuits.
We explored how to reduce the cost of a key protocol (the Parameter Shift Rule, PSR) in realistic analog hardware cases, demonstrating ~10 to ~1000x savings even on small instances!

This year, PyQTorch (a #pytorch based #quantum simulator) is participating as a #hackathon project at the #unitaryHACK25 organized by @unitary.foundation ! It goes from May 28th until June 11th with bounties for contributing on #opensource projects. Check it out!

To reach some consensus about the prospects of near-term (late nisq and early fault tolerant) quantum computing, we had a 3-day discussion event (“Quantum Now”) in Lapland with both optimists and pessimists. This continued at SeeQA 2024 in Oxford. See our conclusions here arxiv.org/abs/2501.05694

🖊️ @qzoeholmes.bsky.social and I are editing an issue for Quantum Science and Technology journal ow.ly/fR1W50Uu1av
We want
- (Wacky) new ideas for variational algorithms
- Honest benchmarks, if you show it don't work, we want it (be thorough)
- Studies on classical simulability
- Power of data in QML
