[Chad Rigetti @ChadRigetti]

Today we're announcing a partnership with the world-class quantum algorithm and software team at @ZapataComputing to build an industry-first compilation toolchain explicitly designed for hybrid quantum-classical algorithms.

Meet Willow!💕

Hauntingly beautiful 150-year-old illustrations for "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe, born on this day in 1809 https://t.co/9B9Pe25ZKC

@xamnidar @CRLStweets Yeah, that would explain it lol

[Alexander Kunitsa @AlexanderKunit1]

@xamnidar @CRLStweets Looks like the leftmost section has a different chirality 😀 If we view the fence as a 2d tessellation it’s symmetry group should be p4 I guess

With the @ZapataComputing and #matterlab including @aperdomoortiz @RomeroFontalvoJ Peter Johnson @mstechly @sukin_sim @maurimarta14 @QuantumManuel @JakobKottmann @AlexanderKunit1 and Javier Alcazar! #quantumcomputing thanks for coming to #Toronto !

My colleague Richard Rand is one of the world’s experts on nonlinear vibrations. He’s posted his lecture notes (free!) that include topics you won’t find anywhere else, like delay equations and fractional derivatives treated with perturbation methods. https://t.co/vNxyrsuCjo

Thoughtful reflections from Victor Galitski.

Excited to share our manuscript introducing classically-boosted VQE, a generalization of VQE that allows #quantum computers to augment, rather than replace, classical quantum-chemistry methods. 1/4

Example of a recurrent neural network (RNN) that exhibits chaos vs. a "dynamic attractor". The RNN drives two output units trained to write the word "Chaos". At 0.16s a perturbation (much larger for the lower RNN) is applied to the RNNs. Thanks @rodlaje

"One may be skeptical about finding quantum intelligent beings in nature (and rightfully so). But it may not be so absurd to synthesize a weak form of quantum (artificial) intelligence in an experimental lab ..."

It was a great pleasure to speak about classical and quantum Fisher information in NISQ applications at the Quantum Machine Learning Journal Club @quantumlah! If you're also interested in the topic you can now watch the talk on YouTube: https://t.co/tTFx2mvy74 📽️

[Max Radin @xamnidar]

While @ZapataComputing has had many fantastic quantum research interns, I'm excited to say that we are now accepting applications for our first quantum software internship! #python #quantumcomputing #internship https://t.co/RZXBFI5xXh

[Michał Stęchły @mstechly]

I plan to talk about my recent implementation of methods for warm starting QAOA (https://t.co/s7yerMYKGN) and walking through some open-source code available here: https://t.co/JKDJnNpwEk .
It'll be a nice supplement to this podcast episode: https://t.co/zLSaxxA1A8

[Michał Stęchły @mstechly]

Tired of solving textbook assignments?
Reading papers and not understanding them?
Try this – plenty of diverse problems to tackle and opportunities to learn. Plus, you can see how other people approached the same problem and learn from them.
This month – QML.

[PennyLane @PennyLaneAI]

This looks like a really interesting paper for everyone who loves quantum gradients 🤩

Nice work by @cambridgecqc team

[Alejandro Perdomo-Ortiz @aperdomoortiz]

Worried about the challenges in training #quantum models for applications on near-term quantum devices? Check our last work where we leverage meta-learning to mitigate the vanishing-gradients issue (a.k.a. as barren plateaus in #Quantum #MachineLearning). https://t.co/Sr2nQGisIm

[Artur Izmaylov @artur_izmaylov]

It seems that Unitary Coupled Cluster theory was not meant for quantum computers, the operator is just too complicated. Yet, it is the most frequently used theory when it comes to quantum chemistry on a quantum computer. Discussion of UCC subtleties here https://t.co/MRyldsQyDF
