Those interested should take a look at the Qiskit, Cirq, and QuTiP frameworks. A strong understanding of those is vital for developing Quantum Algorithms.

I'm curious about what it would take for Starshot's nanocraft to work with a quantum computer. If anyone has any ideas, I'd appreciate your input!

Using a Quantum implementing machine for data processing could benefit Starshot's nanocraft. Though this is currently beyond our technological capabilities, fascinating area of Quantum for Space!

I think I'll start applying for Quantum positions! I just need to brush up on the Qiskit framework. Anyone have any recent project examples using Qiskit?
