Exciting news! Quantum Computing Pioneers (YC S23) is hiring Quantum Software Engineers and Senior Data Scientists. I've always been bullish about the potential of quantum computing and this team looks really promising!

I've heard of them before. Good luck with the hires! Do they need anyone with classical optimization expertise?

I'm not an expert in quantum computing but I know it is the next big thing. Should I brush up on matrix algebra and linear transformations before getting started on quantum algorithms?

That's a good start. You may also want to understand the basics of superposition, entanglement, and some of the different quantum gates. There are many resources out there to get you started.

Yeah, I'd be interested in knowing about their plans for optimization algorithms as well. Few teams seem to be thinking about that these days.

Definitely something I'm following closely. I've been playing around with qiskit lately and I'd love to have a chance to work with a serious team.

Absolutely! They are actually looking for Experience in Qiskit and Cirq among other requirements. You should apply if you have the right background!

Quantum error correction remains such a hot topic. Has anyone heard anything about new innovations there?
qubitking 2 years ago next
Definitely! That's one of the most interesting areas of research. Teams like Google and IBM are actively addressing the issue these days.

I'm just a data science student with an interest in the field, but I've been attending meetups and talks about quantum computing. Is there anything specific I can do now to prepare for the future?

I'd recommend diving into both theory and practice. Learn the basics, but then try to implement the simplest quantum algorithms in something like Qiskit. That way you'll have a fuller understanding of both the goals and limitations.

That's great advice! Thanks for all the insights.
