Maria is one of the few people know that can pull off a tweet that has more people commenting “Congratulations” than on LinkedIn. I would say that’s an achievement in itself.

Even ChatGPT disagrees with this decision.

This is so similar to #TheLastOfUS which I just finished playing. It’s crazy.

📢📰 I am more than happy to share my latest pre-print arxiv.org/abs/2411.00468 , result of the work I have done during my summer internship at IBM Research , together with the amazing Javier Robledo Moreno and MarioMotta314 ⚛️🖥️

... just over four years ago, it took me weeks to complete a 2-qubit VQE with only 6 parameters. Today, I’m working with quantum samples from circuits containing thousands of gates. This makes me feel old but also optimistic about the future of these machines 🤓

The code is also open sourced here: github.com/Qiskit/qiskit-…

All packed and ready for the first-ever IBM Quantum Developer Conference #QDC! Can’t wait to finally meet Qiskit advocates, active users, and incredible colleagues face-to-face, many of them for the very first time! So exciting!

We are all set for the first-ever IBM Quantum Developer Conference! #QDC

Can’t believe DS is turning 20 this week. Makes me feel old. Anyway, this is the perfect excuse for me to show off my DS collection and the beautiful display stands I got last week when I went to QDC :)

Pretty sure I am the no.2 fan of Christina Aguilera on Spotify, 2nd only to my wife, because our older daughter is obsessed with Mulan. She can only fall asleep with selected Mulan soundtracks. She would wake up if a non-Mulan song plays, when we forget to play the playlist in a loop 😅

Share our new work on a topological theory of qLDPC codes: scirate.com/arxiv/2501.193… We've now achieved our vision of more than a year ago: find native non-Clifford gates on a qLDPC code with constant rate, constant stabilizer weight, and sqrt(N) distance.

I’m excited to announce that a new Qiskit application function is now live on the Qiskit Functions Catalog (quantum.ibm.com/functions?id=1…): HiVQE Chemistry from Qunova Computing

It is wonderful to see a global supply chain and ecosystem growing for quantum. ibm.com/quantum/blog/j…

In the next couple of years we expect to see quantum advantage. Olivia Lanes and John Watrous have put together a nice video explaining what we mean by quantum advantage and what it will require. Check out the video youtube.com/watch?v=wGsK1i…

Our teams new work using AI for quantum circuit transpilation Is even better. The team has extended their earlier work on RL-based synthesis of Clifford circuits to general Pauli Networks. arxiv.org/abs/2503.14448

The quantum optimization working group latest results arxiv.org/pdf/2504.03832 and library (git.zib.de/qopt/qoblib-qu…) introduces 10 optimization problems that are challenging for classical STOA - these can be used as a benchmark and track the progress towards quantum advantage.
