My guest today is Edward Parker, a physical scientist at the RAND Corporation. Edward recently authored a report titled “An Assessment of the US and Chinese Industrial Basis in Quantum Technology” and we discuss its key findings, what surprised him the most during his research, and much more. Listen…

This note demonstrates how to use the Classiq platform to solve the Hamiltonian Simulation problem that was part of our recent coding competition. We then demonstrate a more complex example — simulating an H 2 O molecule. Introduction Chemical simulation is one of the most exciting applications for quantum computers. When…

This note describes how to use the Classiq platform to solve constraint satisfaction problems, including Kakuro — one problem from our recent Coding Competition. Then, it demonstrates a much more complex example that generates a circuit for 715 qubits. We Live in a Constrained World Constraint satisfiability (SAT) problems are everywhere. This difficult class of problems…

My guest today is Kenna Castleberry, a writer and science communicator. Kenna and I spoke about her Women in Quantum article series, diversity in quantum companies, communicating quantum computing to lay audiences and much more. Listen to additional podcasts here THE FULL TRANSCRIPT IS BELOW Yuval: Hello, Kenna, and thanks for joining me today. …

Highlights: Launching a quantum computing proof-of-concept project doesn’t need to break the bank. Once a business has identified a use case, a three- to four-month trial project can be implemented for ~$100,000. How is it best to spend these resources? The question of what business problem could be addressed with…

My guest today, Brian Lenahan — Founder and Chair of the Quantum Strategy Institute, spoke with me about “Quantum Excellence”, his new book, common traits of successful quantum implementations, and much more. Listen to additional podcasts here ‍ THE FULL TRANSCRIPT IS BELOW Yuval: Hello, Brian, and thanks for joining me today. Brian: Thank…

Highlights: Mastercard is educating and promoting awareness vertically and horizontally throughout the organization. The oft-mentioned quantum use cases do not apply; Mastercard is looking into use cases that support its core business. They are navigating the hype and looking at both near-term and long-term timelines, hoping to start delivering value…

While many organizations understand that quantum computing is probably part of their future, their executives might ask themselves: how soon is that future and when should I start preparing for it? The method of answering these questions is not unique to quantum computing. Executives try to assess: how mature is…

In the recent Classiq Coding Competition, one of the challenges was a Hamiltonian Simulation problem. Below is a brief recap of the problem as well as some of the winning solutions. Background: One must first understand and simulate the quantum interactions at play to fully understand large quantum systems, such as…
