I've found the Duolingo of Quantum Computing!!

[@haroonhamid5352]

I did a project on quantum computing for my chemistry degree. Been interested in it ever since. I was thinking about taking the udemy course which seems comprehensive, but, I think it would just be a hobby of mine rather than a skill i could capitalise on in my career.

Could you upload a coding video about tsp problems, I saw your video explaining it but not sure how to code it

[@webbedtoes2]

honestly been wanting these basics for over 4 years.... 🙏🏻

[@vlad.serbanescu]

I watched your last video and went and purchased a subscription. I followed almost all of the currently available resources on Black Opal. It seems to me most of these QC resources go around in circles forever and ever - the end goal has always been to actually program/code something, but all they do is focus on the fundamentals and never actually teach you how to map a real world problem to a QC program (not algorithm, program!!). To make a simple comparison - there are plenty of people allegedly teaching shaders, but all most of them really do is drag around nodes. To actually make it "click" for someone you need to explain how a shader is just a function that gets called for each vertex and/or pixel. That's it. - the simplest idea possible. So circling back to the premise... how does one really map a real world issue to a full-fledged QC program? It doesn't have to be useful, just described smart enough and go from start to end, as opposed to throwing around 5 lines of code to entangle a few qubits.

[@Anastasia-Marchenkova]

Have you checked out some textbooks? seems you are at that level!

[@vlad.serbanescu]

​@@Anastasia-MarchenkovaI've had my eyes on QC (and your channel, too) for a few years now, so yes, I came across several textbooks and if I remember right, even one or two of your videos about your books in particular. The problem is that I'm not seeing the light at the end of the tunnel by looking at Grover's algorithm or some other essential algorithm. I literally can't see how that knowledge and those concepts are ever supposed to translate to other real world issues. Everyone everywhere keeps pushing extremely advanced and low level chemistry or finances in their presentations or textbooks. This assumes I need to study chemistry or finances in a lot of depth just to make sense of the QC stuff around them. For context, I'm a game developer with plenty of programming experience. I can think of several use cases for QC in the server-side of video games in the near future - simulating flora/fauna/ecosystems, temperature propagation, weather, networking and physics optimizations, anti-cheat etc. These may not be as glamorous as curing cancer, but this is my current industry. But I fail to see why I'm expected to understand chemistry or finances in order to understand how to map those problems to a QC program - again, not just some search algorithm, but a full start-to-end program, with "int main() { DoQuantumStuff(); }" Most of what I see right now seems to mimic "coding kernels" or playing around in assembly. If you happen to know more useful textbooks or resources for my use cases, I'd appreciate it if you pointed me in a better direction!

[@vlad.serbanescu]

Also, Black Opal, somewhere (I don't remember where), does indeed highlight the difficulty of translating real world issues to QC algorithms. But this is pointless to specify if they don't actually teach this part, too. If their upcoming "Intro to programming" and other modules also stick to entangling a handful of qubits and Grover/Shor's algorithms, I'd be disappointed, but not too surprised either.

[@rishikumartiwari7473]

@@vlad.serbanescu Agree on the Chemistry and Finance part. Resources on the use of QC for finance and chemistry go above my head!!!

[@SaiGanesh314]

​@@vlad.serbanescu Oh, and, Qiskit is not the only SDK if you want to get your teeth into the quantum software stack. There are other standard ones like Pennylane from Xanadu, Cirq from Google, Q# from Microsoft; and I've actually heard there's a quantum version of the HDL (like Verilog in our classical case) called QHDL to simulate and examine the quantum hardware module design strategies...

[@chrisike1335]

Do you know anything about the company Ionq? I was looking to possibly invest in them by buying stock in the company. I have did some research but you know a whole lot more about quantum computing than I.

[@vivekramakrishnan4870]

Looks like a great tool. Thanks for sharing. Might try to use it for the quantum hackathon we plan in 2024.

[@Anastasia-Marchenkova]

where are you planning the hackathon??

Same, I think I participated in the same hackathon. Was it QRise? qrise was a fantastic event, i just messed up and wish i went in with team members. Will do next event.

Hello @AnastasiaMarchenkovaQuantum, i would like to have a certification in Quantum Computing, but i don't know where to invest for a course for certification, could you please give me an advice to where to go? i want to be ready when it becomes a breaking technology. I have learned by myself, but i guess it's not enough.

This is not at all like duolingo’s minimalist design and focus on nearly zero ‘reading’ about language.

Interesting! It's rare to see an interactive platform that teaches through games, especially in quantum computing

[@Anastasia-Marchenkova]

It's definitely a great first step for someone diving into the topic, and it's bite-sized versus a textbook! Next, I imagine a codecademy-style learning platform - I've had in my mind to build it, but it's definitely not an easy project (and I don't know, Javascript, just the back end!)

You might find the game called quantum odyssey interesting too, when I saw the title I thought the video was gonna be about it, but I think both tools can complement each other in learning quantum

What part of quantum computing are you interested in? hardware, algorithms, software?? I should put together a list

[@leolofresh]

​@@Anastasia-Marchenkova A video on the Regev algorithm paper and the differences with Shor's algorithm would be very interesting!

[@peterwestin1874]

Black opal is excellent, but the discussion has disintegrated. Have you heard about the Nobel Prize winners in Chemistry this year? It's about quantum dots and it's interesting because they are used in QLED screens. How many qubits can one extract from our TV screens? Anastasia's video on secret quantum lab theory seems to have lost its appeal, even though her argument was correct, I think. End of RSA and assymetric cryptography :/ Happy Christmas too. We lived before RSA and will live after. ❄️🎅
