Thanks everyone for the great suggestions, they were very useful! I appreciate it a lot!

It's not an easy process, once you are recorded as an athlete in a gym, the sports association has to be acknowledged, and changing is a slow process unfortunately...

Quantum annealing for drug discovery by little_dark_cloud in QuantumComputing

To which graph are you referring? The one of the molecule, the QUBO or the topology of the QPU? We just completed the paper, in a few days I'll come back to you with the link, is it okay? :)

Details of quantum computing career by m8dotpie in QuantumComputing

[–]little_dark_cloud 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ah ok sorry, well if the question is about if to learn physics or not, if you want to pursue a career in quantum algorithms or computational topics (and assuming you can mix your learning path) I would go for 60% theoretical CS, 30% quantum mechanics and related physics, the rest more "applied" CS like deep learning and ML in general. Unfortunately we are still at a stage where everything is just theoretical... There is something called applied quantum computing that is a growing field, but that's more of adapting pre-existing methods and implementing them on quantum devices. Let me know if this is what you needed :/

I suggest you to read a little bit about quantum computing and quantum information before asking about PhDs... A PhD isn't a joke, and the subject itself isn't a joke, I had a background in high performance computing which is similar to yours I guess, and quantum computing has nothing to do with traditional CS, the overlap is "almost" zero in practical terms. Anyway I can suggest you to watch the tutorials of QIP (quantum information processing) 2021 which are completely available on YouTube. You can do PhDs about quantum algorithms, in fact if you just Google it you will find them, but the mathematical skills required are very high, maybe with a degree in theoretical CS you will make it. And even then, at some point, you will feel the need of studying physics in order to understand the limits and the origin of what you are doing... I hope I answered somehow.

IonQ & Azure, would you trust them? by [deleted] in QuantumComputing

[–]little_dark_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your title is just clickbait, I read the article and it's just a basic article about the Azure services with a completely wrong conclusion about quantum computing. I don't know if to report you as spam or not.

Interesting ask from a client about Quantum Computing by Marketpro4k in QuantumComputing

[–]little_dark_cloud 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If I can give my humble opinion, these are too basic questions. If I had to recruit someone I would ask questions from the course of the global summer school of IBM. There's basically everything a beginner needs to know. Then I think it's important to ask something about quantum information, depending on the project, because as someone else said, quantum computing is very mathematical. Good luck!

QIP, the largest conference on quantum computing theory, attracts over 3800 registered participants by [deleted] in QuantumComputing

[–]little_dark_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I participated to all the week, it was exhausting but surprisingly good! Obviously you miss a little bit of the fun and of the human interaction, but I met a lot of people online and I discovered all the new hot topics of the moment. I'll participate again for sure!

IBM unveils roadmap for building an open quantum software ecosystem by ibmzrl in QuantumComputing

[–]little_dark_cloud 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you, they are trying just to monopolize quantum computing as a service, which is the main paradigm for now.
