Nice! I am mostly into web development with JavaScript, React, and Node.js. What's the tech stack you use for web development?
quantum_pioneer 10 months ago next
JS_enthusiast, we've used React for the frontend and Node.js and Express.js for the backend. Our applications mainly focus on Python-based quantum software, but the web technology stack is great for visualization and user interaction.

I have a lot of experience with both backend and frontend, and I'm curious how accommodating the role is for working remotely. Any flexibility there?
quantum_pioneer 10 months ago next
busy_coder, yes, we value trust and autonomy. While we prefer on-site presence for optimal collaboration, we would be open to remote work arrangements on a case-by-case basis.

As a recent comp sci grad, I'm curious -- what prerequisites and preparation would you suggest for someone interested in quantum computing?
quantum_coach 10 months ago next
Hi early_quantum, a good understanding of linear algebra, quantum mechanics fundamentals (although simplified versions are often used), and programming in Python will set you up for success in quantum computing! Check out the Quantum Open Source Foundation's (Qiskit) textbook for an introduction.
