Google has just launched an educative game, that allows the user to “build” a quantum computer. This game has a qubit as the central figure, and the user has to protect it from heat, in order to avoid decoherence.

Open Science Prize
IBM Quantum is excited to announce the second annual Open Science Prize — an award for those who can present an open source solution to some of the most pressing problems in the field of quantum computing.
Sharing the following event: Quantum for business conference, 7 to 9. December. It’s a 100% presential event.
A brief explanation of the main technologies used for quantum hardware, by
Sabine Hossenfelder:
Superconductors
Photons Topological
Ion Trap
Semi conducting qubits
Nitrogen vacancy systems
Special case for D-Wave, which has a different logic.
I have just finished the IBM Quantum Challenge Fall 2021.
I’ll write a more detailed post later, but in general, it was only to use pre prepared functions in finance, chemistry and optimization.
Some bugs in the notebooks (error when saving, number of parameters of ansatz returning empty). Happily, instructors in Slack platform helped a lot.
These challenges are very didactic, with a little taste of practical application.
Thanks IBM for this challenge.
From my friends of Brazil Quantum startup, the first course on Quantum Computing, in Brazilian Portuguese, for undergraduates!
