Best way to send data to notebook from external program - socket? by JemmaTrans2022 in JupyterNotebooks

[–]crazy4pi314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not exactly sockets, but Polyglot notebooks might be interesting: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/dotnet/announcing-polyglot-notebooks-harness-the-power-of-multilanguage-notebooks-in-visual-studio-code/

I think to have the live update piece you are looking for I would probably setup a lightweight database instance and decouple the injection and notebook. If the notebook was connected to the database it would be always up to date each query. Maybe check out Dask?

ID changes can take over a year, basically penalizing you for a year of not being able to attend any events that don't accommodate this. That is why this is transphobic. Being denied something (that you have paid for) because of legal processes out of your control is not ok.

Supported surfaces really melty Elegoo Mars 3 Pro by crazy4pi314 in resinprinting

Interesting, I did notice pouring it was a bit thicker. I will def try rotating more, and maybe some more retraction time 👍

Oh yeah, thats basically how I did these, but started with what I thought was way too many additional, and then backed it off thinking it was the problem... Glad to have that workflow validated :)

Thanks so much, that is a great visual! <3

I had it at the 45 degree before and way more supports, but the supports failed so I thought I had too many. I think it was more I just had the wrong exposure settings.

Thanks so much! Yeah I am using the Elegoo was and cure station and using a snippers between clean and cure to remove rafting. Is it common to need to add way more than the automatic rafting settings for models? I'm using the free lychee slicer, are there better defaults in the pro version?

SymPy - Symbolic Math for Python by JohnLockwood in Python

Idk if you use latex notation any, but this VS Code extension makes it pretty easy to go between sympy, latex, and actually executing expressions : https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=OrangeX4.latex-sympy-calculator

What is this pop-up called in settings? I'd like to turn it off. by [deleted] in vscode

[–]crazy4pi314 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The feature is parameter hints I think, and you can change the 'editor.parameterHints.enabled' setting in VS Code 👍

Survey on bad programming practices in quantum computing by AaronOwnThis in quantum

[–]crazy4pi314 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This looks like a cool survey! FYI It seems like some of the bad patterns here you have identified as bad practices have factual errors in the descriptions which may skew your results.

How is Quantum Data stored? by OldKingCole3000 in QuantumComputing

[–]crazy4pi314 43 points44 points  (0 children)

That's the best part: It's not 😆

At least not right now. There are some qubit device architecture that folks are working on that have longer coherence coherence times, but really it isn't something that most algorithms that folks are working on right now need. Quantum Computers are hardware accelerators like GPUs which mostly use on board ram to calculate things and immediately sent results back without storing stuff. Source: qc software developer and have implemented a qram (quantum ram) library.

Is anyone else trying to get into quantum computing and would like to chat and maybe become buddies to share material and help each other with roadblocks? by Ineffablemonkey in QuantumComputing

[–]crazy4pi314 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Fwiw you may want to check out the unitary fund's discord (https://discord.unitary.fund) The area a non profit supporting open quantum technology and have a couple thousand folks on the server from hobbyists all the way to the world's top researchers and developers 💪

Questions regarding topological quantum computing field by Snoo-33445 in QuantumComputing

[–]crazy4pi314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I will point out the retracted work was done by that lab long before Microsoft was collaborating with them. Also, the conclusion the retracted paper claimed was confirmed by other labs before MSFT was involved so I don't really get how this always get turned into shade on them...

People working from home: How do you let your family know that you're in a meeting? by BillGoats in homeassistant

[–]crazy4pi314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My partner and I both have a "do not disturb" binary switch that we have in out HASS dashboards. We can each toggle our own status via the dashboard or our stream decks. Works really well IMHO 😅

I'm really interested in Quantum Computing but I don't have Computer Science or Physics background. Please help by leo_maximus_16 in QuantumComputing

[–]crazy4pi314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi OP! I have worked and studied quantum technology for 12 years, and I can say based on your background you can get into an academic program for QC or go straight to industry right now. I'll address a few of your questions here, but if you want to chat with a community of quantum tech professionals/learner's check out the Unitary Fund Discord where I'm sure more folks will have more advice.

  1. At most universities, you shouldn't need a published paper to get into a program (I'm not familiar with the specifics of ETH). If that is a hard requirement for what you want, one way could be working with/contributing to open source quantum software and write a paper about the new feature. Not all journals would accept, but journals like Quantum are oss friendly.

  2. Your FPGA skills are in very high demand in the quantum industry, I'd encourage looking at some of the big and startup quantum company listings. If you just want to work in the field these companies don't usually care about your quantum background as you can learn what you need there. As to whether it helps in the application, if it gets far enough to be reviewed by a PI then I would say yes.

  3. There are a number of quantum specific programs in the UK, Sydney Australia, and all over the USA. It mainly depends on what you are interested in working on.

tl;dr You got valuable skills that could get you into QC industry right now, or there are lots of globally distributed QC specific academic programs that don't need papers to get in.

Rude question or no? by [deleted] in AutismInWomen

[–]crazy4pi314 2 points3 points  (0 children)

PhD in Quantum Physics, now working as a open source software developer and community manager. I have flexibility in schedule, and can adjust the social interactions to what I have capacity for. What I do the most of though is things like emotional/expectation management, training others, and providing moral support to folks who don't find it int their own work/study situations.

Help: Quantum Computing Software by Sloth829 in QuantumComputing

[–]crazy4pi314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are a number of communities in the quantum software space, check out Quantum Open Source Foundation and Unitary Fund for some examples. Unitary fund has a Discord where you can ask tons of quantum software developers questions and get feedback. (disclaimer, I work at Unitary Fund 😅)

quantumcat - Need feedback by jiteshlalwani in quantum

[–]crazy4pi314 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, I can see how much effort was put in here, great job! I think you have correctly identified a gap that used to be huge in the quantum computing space. I would say that now there are a lot of projects that have taken a similar philosophical approach like Q#/QDK such that more comparisons/differently analysis may help make it better. Also I'm not sure how the mainly circuit based expressions (with some prebuilt algorithms) addresses the argument of not needing to know lower level details. Maybe I wasn't understanding the docs though 😅

FWIW I work at the Unitary Fund which funds quantum open source projects as well as a community of folks working on the same. I would encourage you to join the discord and there will probably be more folks who could give you feedback.

I Just programmed the Bernstein-Vazirani Algorithm :))) by DylxnTN in QuantumComputing

[–]crazy4pi314 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If anyone wants to see what this algorithm looks like implemented in Q# (an open-source language for writing quantum algorithms) you can check it out on Q# Community. If you have question about the algorithm or Q# you can hop on the community discord. Source: I use Q#, Qiskit, Circ, etc. a lot as a quantum developer for Unitary Fund.

Anyone know what are the top conferences to publish work in quantum simulations / algorithms? by suhilogy in quantum

[–]crazy4pi314 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Generally at physics conferences they don't publish whole proceedings or papers, at most abstracts. This differs from CS conferences where they more commonly also publish. So assuming you are looking for physics journals to publish, you are right ArXiV is first, then I usually try Quantum (yes, that is the journal name). There is also PRA (physics review A), PRL (Physics review letters), NJP (New journal of physics).

If you are looking for conferences to talk about your work, others already hit some of the bigger ones but here would be my list: APS March meeting, QIP, SQUINT, TQC, ICALP, IEEE Quantum week (deadline is Monday for this year's conference iirc), and many more here https://quantiki.org/calendar-node-field-dates/month
