"Good quantum software"
What does it even mean?
Even the best hardware is not very useful if you don't have a good software stack to support it.
While there's no single answer to the question above, we will give you tools that will enable you to answer it by yourself. We want to make sure that people writing and using software for quantum computers can be more effective and less frustrated!
Bad code wastes time
Quantum computing is evolving quickly. The number of challenges we face while trying to make it reality is paramount. We want to focus on one which we are best equipped to solve – software not working as it should.
Too often researchers and software engineers waste their time on the software problems, like those below. We don't like waste!
Sneaky science bugs
Have you ever spent a week running numerics only to realize that results are incorrect due to some hard to find issue with the scientific logic of your code?
Simulations take ages to run
Running quantum simulations takes time – sure. But does it always have to take days?asdklfathistextisjustforalligningtextboxes,
Dependency update = crash
Libraries change all the time, new releases break your code, old code stops working. Sounds familiar? asdklfathistextisjustforalligningtextboxes,
What is this about?
Every week you will receive an e-mail from us filled with practical knowledge that will help you be more productive when working with quantum software.
These might be answers for questions nagging you for years now, such as:
How to make my code run faster?
Why the same circuit written in different frameworks gives different results?
How to write tests for scientific code which are not waste of time?
Or perhaps things you've never thought about, but you'll find very useful nonetheless!
Who is it for?
This is for anyone who works with "quantum software", so software associated with quantum computing. To be honest, 90% of the newsletter will be applicable to any type of scientific software.
People such as:
Software engineers
If writing code is your bread and butter, we're sure you'll find some extra snippets of knowledge in our e-mails!
Researchers
If writing code is necessary evil for you to move the frontiers of science, we'll help you make it less evil! paddingpaddingpadding
Quantum enthusiasts
If you just enjoy spending evenings playing with Bloch spheres, you'll also enjoy 10 minutes every week reading our e-mails!
