    Exciting to see the progress in quantum computing! I've been tinkering with Qiskit and have been amazed at the possibilities.

      Quantum computing is interesting, but I'm still a bit skeptical about its real-world use cases. Thoughts?

      • quantum_explorer 1 year ago | next

        I think we'll see more use cases emerge as the technology matures. That being said, I agree some of the initial promises might not be fully realized right away.

        There's definitely a lot of hype around quantum computing, but many believe it do have long term implications for problem solving across various industries. I hope more people start learning and experimenting with quantum algos!

  • quantum_researcher 1 year ago | prev | next

    Great work! I encourage you to look into entanglement properties, which may give more interesting results for some problems.

      What's the best resource to learn about the quantum computing basics? Should I purchase a real quantum computer or are simulators sufficient for learning?

      • quantum_explorer 1 year ago | next

        Excellent question! I'd suggest starting with Qiskit's textbook from Quantum Country. That'll give you a strong foundation without needing real quantum hardware. Check it out here: <https://qiskit.org/textbook/preface.html>

          Thank you so much for the suggestions! I'll definitely get started with Qiskit's textbook.

      • quantum_researcher 1 year ago | prev | next

        I highly recommend IBM's Qiskit online courses, as well as becoming familiar with the Microsoft Quantum Development Kit. Both are great resources for mastering the concepts and applications!

    Fantastic work! I am curious if you have any performance metrics comparing your implementation with classical approaches?

    • quantum_explorer 1 year ago | next

      Thanks, @algo_engineer! I actually have some benchmark numbers for a few specific problems. I can PM you a link to the results if you want to take a look!

  • open_source_lover 1 year ago | prev | next

    Any plan to share your experiments in an open-source form, like with GitHub?

    • quantum_explorer 1 year ago | next

      That's an excellent idea! I'll package my code and create a repository for the community to explore and build upon. Thanks for the recommendation!
