Excited to announce Braket.jl, an experimental #julialang SDK for Amazon Braket, where you can build, test, and run #quantum computing experiments in Julia, using quantum computers and simulators on Amazon Braket. Check it our full blog post at forem.julialang.org/kshyatt/…!
Introducing Braket.jl - Quantum Computing with Julia

Introducing Braket.jl - Quantum Computing with Julia

Braket.jl is a new, experimental package that lets you build quantum circuits and programs in Julia...

what is going to happen next isn’t going to be a quantum winter, it’s going to be a deep recession, and quantum companies who are undercapitalized or overpromised are going to get crushed along with every other company in all other verticals who did the same

** JOB ADVERTS** You cannot wait for QC to be fully scalable? Did you like our work on connecting QCCD modules? Interested in a laser-free approach to quantum logic? We're looking for talented PhD students and experienced postdocs to join an @Ion_busters at @IQT_group! DM us!

Scaling quantum computers is hard. But what if ion qubits were transported between trap microchip modules? Simple enough! Right?🤔 Our work with @IQT_group demonstrates just that Coherent connections at *kHz* rates 💢💨⚛️💨💢 Feedback most welcome! bit.ly/3LeFTcu

Everyone knows I think @qubitbyqubit is the best thing to ever have happened for #quantumcomputing education. For #WorldQuantumDay, I'll thus join my fav people for an "Inclusive Quantum Future" panel. Come discuss with us on April 14, 9.30am PST! eventbrite.com/e/inclusive-q…
Inclusive Quantum Future panel

Around 1 in 3 quantum industry workers has a non-compete clause in their contract. (Disappointingly high.)
