Quantum physicist, software tinkerer. Likes writing documentation. Director of Product at @XanaduAI. Views are my own.

Sometimes as part of my job I get the opportunity to draw diagrams of quantum circuits being funnelled (and I love it)

[PennyLane @PennyLaneAI]

VQE is the OG variational quantum algorithm—but the number of measurements required can scale rapidly!

In our latest demo, check out how algorithms such as graph colouring 🎨 can help us massively reduce the number of measurements needed on hardware 👇

@MilesCranmer We've been working on an ML compiler framework that uses JAX as a frontend, and compiles via EnzymeAD+LLVM.

Dynamic support in the JAX frontend is pretty extensive, just not supported with XLA, but we managed to get it working quite well with LLVM:

One day @llvmorg will be quantum... But what does that look like? Well, @3rdquantization gives a glimpse into what it might look like! 🔗🎦⤵️

[Josh Izaac @3rdquantization]

Large Language Models (LLMs) are great at building up complex paragraphs from simple word tokens. What if your language building block is a unitary — can we use LLMs and GPT to build a quantum machine learning ansatz?

[PennyLane @PennyLaneAI]

Why let VQE have all the fun?🎪

Learn how classical generative models can estimate ground-state energies of molecular Hamiltonians, instead of VQE.

Explore our demo applying the GQE (generative quantum eigensolver) algorithm with PennyLane👇

Was great to have you there and to hear more about Guppy!

[Kartik @k4rtik]

What a conference! So much energy, the highlight for me was the Quantum Software 2.0 workshop and meeting so many like minded people.

[Robert Wille @rbrtwll]

This year’s @IEEEQuantumWeek covers more #QuantumComputing #Software topics than ever before (in keynotes, technical presentations, workshops, etc.). Obviously, we are loving that! 😉 And we are happy to contribute to that.🙂

@IEEEQuantumWeek @AliJavadiAbhari René Zander from Fraunhofer now discussing high level compilable quantum programming with Qrisp

[Josh Izaac @3rdquantization]

If you're at IEEE Quantum Week, our workshop on quantum software is starting now in room 523AB!

Olivia Di Matteo starts us off by asking, what is the best abstraction hierarchy for quantum programming?

[Josh Izaac @3rdquantization]

At IEEE Quantum Week this year, we're organizing a workshop by people working on quantum software to discuss the problems we are trying to solve, and what people are exploring when it comes to next generation quantum software ideas and architectures:

@IEEEQuantumWeek @AliJavadiAbhari Tanuj Khattar now discussing Qualtran and software for quantum resource estimation

[Marco Cerezo @MvsCerezo]

Huge thanks to @PennyLaneAI and @DWierichs for showcasing our results!

Amazing and lightning fast as always!

This is the workshop for you if you have recently been wondering:

- What is the current state of quantum software in 2024?

- Is our software ready to run/support useful algorithms on quantum computers?

- Why is everyone in quantum software suddenly talking about LLVM?

[PennyLane @PennyLaneAI]

Excited to receive our @NVIDIA DGX supercomputer powered by NVIDIA GH200 Grace Hopper Superchips ⚡

We can't wait to integrate this amazing tech into PennyLane and Lightning!

[Juan Miguel Arrazola @ixfoduap]

Incredible work by @Qottmann writing a demo on a paper just a few days after it was released

[PennyLane @PennyLaneAI]

Shallow quantum circuits are provably powerful, yet training them can be difficult. @RobertHuangHY et al overcome this obstacle with a powerful new tool, circuit sewing with local inversions.

If you don’t have time to read 88 pages, @Qottmann showcases these techniques in our latest demo: https://t.co/Ru7jeG2L9e
