Quantum Computing Comics | Quantum Computing Weekly #12

By Jesper Thomschutz • Issue #12 • View online

👋 Hi folks!

So last year I mentioned that we’d have another quantum computing expert interview this month, but sadly this has been postponed a bit and should appear in an issue in February instead - sorry about that!

News has been largely dominated by IBM’s Q System One launch, but I’ve included various (mostly) unrelated articles just to switch it up a bit!

Looking for a particular area of quantum computing you’d like to see covered in the next issue? Ping me and let me know!

EPiQC has recently launched a series of zines (read: informational comics) all about quantum computing! Check them out here.

Dartmouth Event Leaps Into Quantum Computing

Physics professor Lorenza Viola taught her first course on quantum computing at Dartmouth back in 2005, and until recently, her instruction was limited to theory. But with tools such as IBM’s Qiskit becoming freely accessible online, anyone with an internet connection can play around with a quantum computer.

👋 Hi folks and welcome to Quantum Computing Weekly!

This is a newsletter about Qubits, Quantum Logic Gates, occasional mandatory cat jokes, and more.

First off, let me get this out of the way: I'm not a quantum computing expert - not a Ph.D. in anything - just a humble legacy-computer programmer with a passion to learn more about the world of quantum computing.

Join me on my journey with this newsletter as I share news, articles, videos, and anything else I come across that I think is interesting while learning about quantum computers.
