#3 Razieh Annabestani on quantum ecosystem and working in different sectors

In this episode we talk with Abuzer Yakaryilmaz, chairperson of QWorld. QWorld is an organization which teaches quantum computing in over 20 countries through various initiatives. We talked about those initiatives, the story behind QWorld and why running such an organization is not necessarily a smooth sailing. We have also discussed what are some challenges present in quantum education these days and finally touched briefly on Abu's research on Quantum Finite Automata.Full podcast notes: https://www.mustythoughts.com/episodes.html#NISP5

In this episode we talk with Kanav Setia, CEO of qBraid, about challenges with education and software development for quantum computing, Q2B 2021 conference and future research directions for quantum algorithms.

We talked with Razieh Annabestani about quantum computing ecosystem, differences between various sectors, the position of Canada in the quantum world and transitioning from science to business.

In this episode I've talked with Nicolas Sawaya, a research scientist at Intel. We've talked about multiple things, such as:- His work at Intel- Quantum computing and climate change- Involvement in climate change activism- Research about vibrational problems, various encodings in quantum computing and q-ditsFor full notes please visit: www.mustythoughts.com/episodes.html#NISP2

In this episode I talk about the job of quantum software engineers. What this job is about and how it's different from similar positions? What challenges do QSEs face? What are some typical tasks that they work on? I tried to answer all these questions.Some links to useful resources:- My blog: www.mustythoughts.com - A pull request containing some of the changes I've talked about testing validity of gates: https://github.com/zapatacomputing/z-quantum-core/pull/145/files- The code containing the ansatz interface I talked about: https://github.com/zapatacomputing/z-quantum-core/blob/master/src/python/zquantum/core/interfaces/ansatz.py
