This is fantastic @NathanShammah! The @unitaryfund survey has the most complete information about developers and users within the quantum software community that I’ve seen anywhere. Definitely recommend reading. 👏 – at Manhattan, NY

The fall 2022 ibm quantum challenge is almost here. This year you will learn about primitives and how to use them in applications. Reach more about it in the blog. Good luck and I hope you have fun. research.ibm.com/blog/quantu…
This will be a really useful virtual training event to help instructors better take advantage of @qiskit & IBM Quantum’s edu resources. Huge welcome to Prof. John Watrous, previously from IQC Waterloo, who has taken the lead of our global education technical mission! 🎉 – at Camberwell, London
Calling all #quantum educators - the IBM Quantum Educator Summit is back! Join us for a full day of virtual learning on August 3rd. Free, high quality training to take your course to the next level. Learn more and join us here 👇 ibm.co/39HXxs2

We’ve been thinking a lot about how to safely return in person work, events, and comply with local guidance—I’m excited to slowly see a return to seeing you all in real life later next year.

Congrats to the team for releasing this @qiskit certification. This is a step forward helping many who are taking our courses provide credentials they can use both to pursue career opportunities at @IBM and in the emerging quantum industry.

Forty years ago, a ragtag group of 50 thinkers arranged themselves for a photo on the lawn of MIT’s Endicott House. The rest is history. Reminder: abstract submissions still open for this celebration event, QC40! ibm.com/blogs/research/2021/…

The team has done incredible work producing Qiskit’s Youtube channel, and I’m excited to see this grow youtube.com/qiskit We also paint sometimes 🎨
I'm hiring a host for our Qiskit YouTube channel! Here's a thread on why I think this is a dream job 🧵

Mid-circuit measurement and qubit reset are now available on IBM Quantum systems. @nonhermitian and I created a few examples of how you might put it to work: ibm.com/blogs/research/2021/… A first step on the journey toward dynamic circuits!

Wow. I am amazed to see that the @IBM Open Science Challenge has surpassed 1/2 BILLION circuit executions through @qiskit today! That’s just insane🤯 Can’t wait to see our finalists solutions in April!
