Cheers to the first graduating class of the LANL Quantum Computing Summer School. Very fun and productive summer with many algorithms and friendships developed. Can easily see this as one of the best places to be for quantum algorithms.
It's been cool to see how many people are interested in working through Nielsen and Chuang this summer! Last week we (re)introduced linear algebra in Dirac notation, and practiced tensor products. Today we prove the famous Eqn. (2.60) that Tr[ A |ψ⟩⟨ψ| ] = ⟨ψ| A |ψ⟩.
For any interested learners, I'm excited to release my undergraduate quantum computing course lectures today.
The only required background is linear algebra, and we use the standard textbook by Nielsen and Chuang.
First two lectures uploaded & the rest will be released weekly!
MSU is excited to host one of the 16+ global meetups for Unitary Hack - anyone interested around Michigan can RSVP at the link in reply. Thanks to the @unitaryfdn for organizing!
🔊 #unitaryHACK26 Event Spotlight 1 of 3: HACKdays! 🌍
Want to connect with the quantum community in person? We have 16 local meetups (and counting) happening globally this year!

YQIS is a great conference for and by early career QIS researchers that I'm happy to a steering committee member for. For all early career scientists, the submission deadline for YQIS 2026 in Vienna is April 30
The formal statement from https://t.co/82ZgN46Bq1:
"we show that the problem of determining whether an observable of a finite-sized quantum system relaxes to a given value is PSPACE-complete"
The Quantum Motor City summer camp for high school students returns, this time supported by NSF! For contacts around Michigan/the midwest, please share with a student, parent, teacher, or school district who may be interested: https://t.co/IoysLtsQsp
Today's QuIC Seminar by Greg Quiroz, doing awesome work in error characterization, control, and suppression. Our first external speaker visiting MSU-Q in person, with more to come!
Undergraduates looking for research opportunities can now apply to ACRES at MSU: https://t.co/bt8db40VD2
I'm looking forward to supervising a talented student in new algorithms and HPC strategies for simulating noisy, large-scale quantum circuits!
From the great mind of Dean Lee and collaborators, we introduce resolution refinement for initial state preparation of quantum many-body systems on quantum computers: https://t.co/eqOy1gHLFz
I think it's really awesome and in the spirit of open science for IBM to host events like the Quantum Developer Conference and provide access to state-of-the-art quantum hardware: thank you @IBM on behalf of the community!
I finished typing my lecture notes for Trotter evolution from the ECT TALENT school this summer, aimed at beginners and covering
- A simple algebraic proof of first-order Trotter
- Implementation in quantum circuits
- A coding exercise
Now in PRA, working to squeeze the most out of quantum computers with the fewest resources, utilizing fine-grained commutativity properties in what we call k-commutativity: https://t.co/7U9RaVQEoo
(And still open access on arXiv: https://t.co/LkjQPxLCoL)
