In parallel to QDsim, the team of Evert van Nieuwenburg released QDarts package that concentrates on more realistic simulation of smaller devices. Try out both packages and find an ideal solution to simulate your device or generate a ML dataset 💪

Life update!

In the fall I'll start as a Junior Fellow at the Society of Fellows at Harvard University and an IAIFI fellow at MIT. Looking forward to new adventures with folks across Kempner Institute at Harvard University Harvard SEAS MIT Mathematics and Harvard Physics. Please reach out if/when you're in Cambridge 🙂.

Congratulations to Eliška Greplová for receiving an Open Education Ambassador Award! The awards celebrated nine individuals at TU Delft (one from each faculty + QuTech) for their strong advocacy of inclusive education and sharing resources to make a positive impact on society.

I'll be at the APS March meeting, and I'll talk about this work on Thursday meetings.aps.org/Meeting/MAR24/… come to chat with me if you are interested! This work was made possible by many coincidences! I have a lot of stories!

And a personal announcement. I'll join QuEra Computing full-time later this year and focus on building the compiler pipeline for next-gen fault-tolerant hardware. And yes, to continue my dream in YaoCompiler, I never 'abandon' projects ;-)
