Great job! This is a really accessible way to bring quantum computing to a wider audience. Looking forward to see how this evolves.

Totally agree, can't wait to play around with the simulator. Quick question, do you have any good resources on understanding the implementation of quantum algorithms in the backend?

Wow, this really took me back to the haydays of trying to wrap my head around single qubit gates vs multi-qubit gates... I'm glad to see how far the field has come. Good luck with this project.

Thanks! We have a lot of theoretical and practical material on quantum algorithms, gates, and error correction planned for our blog - so stay tuned!

Really interesting work! I am curious if you have any plans for giving students the ability to build simulations by providing a simpler interface for creating the quantum circuits?

@cvogt This is actually something we've considered and we do plan to add to our platform. Allowing students and hobbyists to build the simulations without manually implementing the underlying algorithms would provide a great on-ramp for learning!

Fascinating to see quantum computing so accessible. How does it compare to other available simulators? I would love to hear some insights from those who have used various tools.

I have tried an open source Qiskit simulator as well as several other paid applications. This simulator stands out due to its UI and user experience as well as the variety of resources available along with it. I would definitely recommend trying it out!

I am skeptical of quantum computing as a whole. Are there plans to include any classical benchmarks or comparisons in the documentation to mitigate scepticism and demonstrate the performance improvements gained from QC?

@classic_code_warrior You raise an excellent point. While we are confident in the potential of quantum computing, it's crucial to be aware of the concerns of skeptics. Including classical benchmarks and comparisons in our documentation is a great idea. Thank you for bringing this up!

Do you know that in the 1980s, Richard Feynman first proposed the idea of 'quantum computers' since he believed classical computers could never accurately simulate quantum systems?

Fascinating fact! While the technology was nowhere near ready in the 80s, it's amazing to see how far we've come. How far do you think we have yet to go until we have quantum machines that outperform classical ones?

When it comes to QC, I feel like there's just an overwhelming amount of info out there, which only confuses someone learning the basics. Thanks for creating something digestible!

As a web dev, I'm obsessed with anything SaaS related. How long did it take you to build the platform and simulator? Curious to know how big the team is or if it's just a passion project.

It's been a long journey with a lot of late nights. We're currently a small team of 3 engineers working full-time on the simulator, along with several more helping part-time. We are very passionate about VQE, VQD, and QAOA algorithms.

Any chance of expanding the library to include a wider variety of quantum algorithms and circuits over time? Curious to see how adaptable the interface is.

Definitely an aspirational goal of ours to expand the variety of quantum algorithms. We want this platform to be the all-in-one for learning quantum computing, so we will prioritize adapting the interface to ever-evolving developments in the field.
