Kipu Quantum’s Post

Happy World Quantum Day! 💫 April 14th, alludes to the first three digits of Planck's constant and commemorates work that laid the foundation for quantum theory. From Planck's initial insights to the discoveries of Bohr, Einstein, Feynman and many others, quantum science has been shaped by collective contributions throughout history. These efforts have led to astonishing progress in quantum and its potential for transformative technologies.  As we celebrate this progress, I want to take a moment to reflect on the amazing experiences I've had and express my gratitude to everyone who has been part of my journey in quantum. Over the past two years, I have enjoyed attending a plethora of amazing events such as Microsoft Azure x The Coding School's Winter school, Qiskit’s GQSS, Qsium’s YQS and Institute of Physics’ Quantum Hackathon. In the summer, I had the insightful opportunity of shadowing at Quantum Dice a pioneering start-up specialising in QRNGs and in October, I had the honour of speaking at Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET)'s QET conference. Most recently, I had the opportunity to present a poster at the QuantumBasel's Global Quantum Symposium 2024 on the potential intersection of geopolitics and quantum technology. This poster summarised findings from, 'Quantum Computing through Geopolitics', an introductory book co-authored by Ayaan and I, to showcase quantum computing to high school students through the topical lens of international exploration. Giving back to the inspiring quantum community through Girls in quantum has been incredibly rewarding. I've loved every minute! I've had the chance to meet wonderful friends, support others on their quantum journey and help build a more diverse community. Every person I've met, every event I've attended, and every project I've been part of has played a crucial role in my growth and enthusiasm for quantum science. Thank you to everyone who has supported, inspired, and guided me along the way. Looking ahead, I'm excited to continue this journey: exploring, learning, and contributing to the future of quantum. #WorldQuantumDay #QuantumInnovation

No one wants to miss the next tech wave, which is quantum computing. With the U.N.'s help globally, STEM and education initiatives will groom the next generation of scientists, technologists, and innovators. We can't wait. https://lnkd.in/gddUJPvq

Excited to share our latest work on fault-tolerant quantum circuits discovery with reinforcement learning. 🤖🤖🤖 Paper: https://lnkd.in/e2ygUvQy Repo: https://lnkd.in/egwwez2n Designing fault-tolerant quantum circuits is hard, especially under limited connectivity constraints. We show that RL is capable of solving this task by discovering state-of-the-art circuits in an automatized way. This approach enables more efficient implementation of error-corrected qubits in any of the leading hardware platforms. We envision promising opportunities for AI-discovered circuits to accelerate the path toward scalable fault-tolerant quantum computers. 💻⚛️ A wonderful collaboration with Jan Olle, PhD, Matteo Puviani, and Florian Marquardt at the Max Planck Institute for the Science of Light and Luis Colmenárez, PhD and Markus Müller from RWTH Aachen University and Forschungszentrum Jülich. This work is part of the Munich Quantum Valley.

Dr Jingbo Wang is Director of the Research Centre for Quantum Information, Simulation and Algorithms at The University of Western Australia. Quantum computing is on the brink of transforming computing forever. Jingbo: "Quantum computers can contemplate more possibilities simultaneously than there are atoms in the universe. However, constructing one to achieve this feat without errors is a grand challenge of the century. Quantum computing represents a pinnacle in science and technology across multiple domains." Quantum physics is notoriously hard to understand – how will she explain quantum computers to them? "Don't worry! I promise I won't blind you with science! I'll explain the key principles that make them so powerful, but also stranger and weirder than you can imagine. And just as importantly, I'll talk about the applications of this incredible technology, because it will affect everyone in the coming years. And a sneak preview – I'll be bringing a real quantum computer with me!" How do you feel about being a TEDxKings Park Speaker? "I want to inspire curiosity and exploration of the field – we want more people to get involved. I'm hoping that my talk will be a useful contribution about the future of this technology and the enormous impact it's going to make on all our lives." You can see Jingbo, and four other remarkable world premiere talks, at Future Technology on the main stage of the State Theatre Centre of WA on 20 May – get your tickets at https://lnkd.in/gb9VUcsz

🌟 Excited to share our latest project! 🌟 My team and I recently worked on a poster titled "𝐁𝐨𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐌𝐞𝐚𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐥𝐞𝐦". In the small world of atoms, particles exist in multiple states simultaneously. The measurement problem questions how and why particles 'choose' a single state when observed, causing the wavefunction to collapse from many possibilities to one definite outcome. 🔍 𝐁𝐨𝐡𝐦𝐢𝐚𝐧 𝐌𝐞𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐜𝐬: This theory suggests that particles are guided by an invisible wave, like a boat on water. Instead of existing in multiple states until measured, particles have definite positions and paths, making quantum behavior easier to understand and predict. ✦ 𝐏𝐢𝐥𝐨𝐭 𝐖𝐚𝐯𝐞: In Bohmian Mechanics, particles are guided by an invisible "pilot wave." This wave determines the path that particles take, similar to how a pilot directs an airplane. ✦ 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐦: Unlike traditional quantum mechanics, which involves probabilities and uncertainties, Bohmian Mechanics proposes that if we knew all the initial conditions of a system, we could predict exactly how particles will move. This means the theory is deterministic – outcomes are determined by initial conditions. ✦ 𝐂𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫 𝐏𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐬: Instead of particles being in a superposition (existing in multiple states at once), they have well-defined positions at all times, guided by the pilot wave. This removes the mystery of why and how the wavefunction collapses upon measurement. Our team, comprising Prayanshi G., Farheen, Afreen, Menna, and Carin S., put in a lot of effort to present the complexities of quantum mechanics in an engaging way. 🔍 Key Highlights: ✦ Understanding the measurement problem in quantum mechanics. ✦ Comparing past approaches, including the Copenhagen interpretation, Many-worlds interpretation, and Objective collapse models. ✦ Explaining how Bohm's theory offers a unique solution by guiding particles with a pilot wave, eliminating the need for wavefunction collapse. This is my very first science poster, and I am incredibly grateful to the Introduction to Quantum Research for Girls program by PhysicsBeyond and Girls in quantum for giving us this opportunity. We receive a few tasks every week, and this was one of the tasks for this week. We’re thrilled with the outcome and excited to share it with the wider community. Beginning to understand quantum computing finally :) Few resources to understand the measurement problem: 1. Young's Double Slit Experiment: https://lnkd.in/g_GgKQ49 2.
