Quantum support vector machine has been used to detect prostate cancer. The comparison with the classical support vector machine shows slightly better results.

What do you do if your code doesn’t work? Debugging is tough no matter what you’re programming, but even more when you’re writing programs for a quantum computer. So @javabster put together this meme-filled guide for you. (1/6) https://t.co/hFywz1H7Xv

Guys, we need to stop this nonsense. Yes, some people go overboard on hype, but the anti-hype backlash is equally as wrong.

How to work with your advisor(s)?

Working effectively with your advisor is the no doubt the key to success of your research! However, junior grad students often don't have a clear idea on how to do so.

Sharing some tips that I found useful. 👇

[Antonio Anna Mele @QuAntonioMele]

In this project we show that, for the class of problems analyzed, it can be useful to exploit the solution obtained for a small number of qubits to solve more difficult problems with a larger number of qubits avoiding Barren Plateaus in VQAs. ⚛️

a nice way to see how the learning rate affects Stochastic Gradient Descent.
we can use SGD to control a robot arm - minimizing the distance to the target as a function of the angles θᵢ. Too low a learning rate gives slow inefficient learning, too high and we see instability

Sometimes I think that the greatest accomplishment of quantum machine learning is giving jobs to physicists

Have you ever searched for "How to do a #LiteratureReview quickly/in 1 day/3 hours"?
And then spend the entire time getting lost in searching/ wallowing in tangential directions?

Here is a🧵on Quick #LitRev technique...

The single most undervalued fact of linear algebra: matrices are graphs, and graphs are matrices.

Encoding matrices as graphs is a cheat code, making complex behavior simple to study.

Let me show you how!

[Error correction zoo @theeczoo]

A powerful feature of the zoo is the ability to generate code lists, painting a birds-eye view of the field. Lists can consist of children of a particular code or of codes united by a certain feature. We highlight some *quantum* lists in this thread. 1/13
