The gloves are off…. I recommend Q-CTRL’s Black Opal tutorials in my second book, “Choose Your Own Quantum Adventure,” and in my upcoming third book, “Quantum Beast,” but a new set of tutorials called IQM Academy is making the rounds on social media. How do they compare? How do they contrast? Let’s find out…

Not all bad news is apocalyptic. I recently gave a talk on dynamic quantum circuits, and during the Q&A portion of the event I was asked a question about the state of the quantum computing industry considering recent troubles with publicly-traded companies such as Rigetti and D-Wave. This article expands upon my answer. For some reason…

Functionally-Complete Boolean Logic This is a companion article to Russ Fein’s article “Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms.” This article is the sixth in a series of articles reviewing the hands-on usage of publicly-available neutral atom products. This article uses QuEra’s 256-qubit “Aquila” neutral atom quantum computer, which I recommend accessing through the qBraid…

Neutral Atom Logic Gates This is a companion article to Russ Fein’s article “Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms.” This article is the fifth in a series of articles reviewing the hands-on usage of publicly-available neutral atom products. …

It was finalized before the first word was written, and it really set the tone for this, my third book. “Quantum Beast: Spooky Action In Close Proximity” will disembark on June 6, 2023, when it will become…

It doesn’t get easier than this. This article isn’t a thorough review, mostly because blueqat’s user interfaces are so straightforward. Seriously, you just provide a QUBO and click a button. Maybe they just have educational value. Maybe you can do more with them than that. …

Design once. Export anywhere. (No code.) I recently wrote an article titled “Review: Quantastica’s QConvert,” but Quantum Programming Studio (QPS) is QConvert on steroids. Let’s take a walk through it, shall we?

But, we tell ourselves it is. This is a tale of two humans: one an adult, the other a child. Each is in a room with a desk, a chair, and a computer. I’m in the Philippines, so let’s please say there’s an air conditioner, too. And, how about an appropriately-sized window to allow in some…

…and Pulser, too. Why not? This is a companion article to Russ Fein’s article “Quantum Computing with Neutral Atoms.” This article is the fourth in a series of articles reviewing the hands-on usage of publicly-available neutral atom products. PASQAL has two environments that I am aware of. There is Pulser, which is a traditional, Jupyter…
