Quantum acrobatics and stuff

I'm so excited about this, and I can only read katakana like a 6-year-old.
Japanese version of 'Programming Quantum Computers' is done! Massive thanks to Ryoko (superhero) at #oreillyjapan, @christine, & my co-authors @sparrigan @MGimenoSegovia #oreillymedia #quantumcomputing

@jutanclan @jasonrmsmith @deantak No idea what any of you are talking about, I swear. How can I help? :]

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

Huge thanks to @tcNickolas, for her expert work porting the #OctopusBook samples to Q# and making it look easy! We hope these sample programs make #QuantumComputing learning and experimentation fun. @sparrigan @MGimenoSegovia @OReillyMedia

[Azure Quantum @MSFTQuantum]

O’Reilly’s Programming Quantum Computers: Essential Algorithms and Code Samples, provides a hands-on programmer’s guide to understanding quantum computing. Get the new #Qsharp samples by @tcNickolas here: https://t.co/MfxIFHuq6f

Very excited to be part of this. I'm in for live quantum computing visualization #OctopusBook demos, and maybe a little retro video game peek. @OReillyMedia

Looking forward to (remotely) presenting QiskitBlocks for Educators in the Programming Quantum Computers track at ACM SIGSCE 2020 Portland today. Honored to share this track with @crazy4pi314 @hotsharptoxic and @oliver_mit https://t.co/xvsBu9iCuM @qiskit #IBMQuantum

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

Lots of friends: “Hey what does the Google quantum announcement really mean?”

*Way* more fun to explore hands-on and decide for ourselves. Code samples in the @OreillyMedia #OctopusBook now run on Google #cirq, also #IBMQ, MS #QSharp, and #OpenQASM if you like assembly (guilty).

[MIT Technology Review @techreview]

With Google claiming quantum supremacy, now's a good time to brush up on how a quantum computer works and why it's so powerful. https://t.co/gJ1wXx8rWr

This week I've been hosting Q&A for coders on the Quantum Computing forum at https://t.co/QZUKT8OYLw. If you're QC-curious (or know a coder who is), join in and maybe win a copy of the book. No question is off-limits. #coders #quantumcomputing @OReillyMedia

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

Imagine getting to work with one of history's great scientists *before* they got all famous. That's what it's like collaborating with @MGimenoSegovia.

Better late than never... new blogpost on #quantaforbreakfast on our @OReillyMedia book “Programming Quantum Computers”. <1000 words on what the book is about and what makes it different from other #quantumcomputing resources. 🐙 📚 https://t.co/qAELdHqFyV

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

Go use a real QC: Thx to massive help from @JavaFXpert, the code samples in "Programming Quantum Computers" from @OReillyMedia are now in @qiskit and #OpenQASM (open-source SDKs for working with the #IBMQ) here: https://t.co/ZmS5E1qltm

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

@christine @Jim_in_Oregon @JimStLeger @OReillyMedia Excellent. And if that's the goal, how about these for IOALBC:
(1) interference between photons which never existed at the same time: https://t.co/09e3LQi2cV
(2) quantum photonics to experiment proves someone didn't do something, when they actually did: https://t.co/gO0MWqvDQD

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

More hands-on = :] :] :] With help from @tcNickolas and other awesome @Microsoft team members, the @OReillyMedia QC book samples can now be run online using MS Q#. That makes 4 quantum languages, with more on the way! Have a favorite engine? Let's add it

[Mariia Mykhailova @tcNickolas]

We're writing #qsharp versions of code samples for the "Programming Quantum Computers" book. The first two chapters' worth of examples are up at https://t.co/fDjmbI2VDb, the rest coming soon! #QuantumComputing

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

a short animated demo of the quantum computer graphics in Chapter 11 on vimeo: https://t.co/DPFWFFkyAK
not as thorough as the book, but there's some neat hardware and retro-gaming fun in there too. Big thanks to @solidangle and @BristolUni #SIGGRAPH

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

what? not creepy! unless you mean the part where you have to destroy the object to teleport it and... well yeah ok

[Christine Herron @christine]

...get your copy here! #quantumcomputing @oreillymedia

"quantum teleportation...it's only a little bit creepy!"

https://t.co/TwyFBgCOqn

[Eric Johnston @hotsharptoxic]

also the code sample in the quantum teleportation chapter allows you to perform *actual* quantum teleportation

(this year I teamed up with the very-brilliant @sparrigan and @MGimenoSegovia to write the @OReillyMedia programmer's guide for quantum computers, and it's all done)
