What is quantum compilation and why is it beneficial? Let us paint the picture! 🖌️ 🧵1/4

Classify, decompose, recurse. Check out our framework of recursive Cartan decompositions, allowing us to understand leading synthesis techniques, derive new decompositions, and compile quantum circuits numerically. 🔗👇

A big new quantum hardware announcement today from the awesome @XanaduAi team! 1. Introducing our new quantum computer called Aurora! This is the first time a quantum computer has been built that is modular, networked and truly scalable Aurora is peer reviewed in @nature and released online today (nature.com/articles/s4158…) It is the very first time anyone has combined all the subsystems necessary to implement universal and fault-tolerant quantum computation in a photonic architecture

I am looking for a talented postdoc in the field of theoretical / mathematical quantum computing. The position is founded by the Quantera @TouQan_quantum that aims to put rigorous foundations to for the possibility of attaining quantum advantage in quantum simulators

More global randomness from less random local gates scirate.com/arxiv/2410.241… Non-Haar local quantum gates can actually lead to more global randomness in #randomcircuits and can be better scramblers.

The countdown is on⏱️ There's 2 weeks left to apply to the 2025 @XanaduAI Residency Program and have a chance to spend a summer with PennyLane☀️ Go behind the scenes and hear from the 2024 residents themselves about their experience & key takeaways👇 pennylane.ai/blog/2024/11/b…

Been working on "Magic state cultivation: growing T states as cheap as CNOT gates" all year. It's finally out: arxiv.org/abs/2409.17595 The reign of the T gate is coming to an end. It's now nearly the cost of a lattice surgery CNOT gate, and I bet there's more improvements yet.

🚨 New Summer School paper: 👉Random ensembles of symplectic and unitary states are indistinguishable 👈 arxiv.org/abs/2409.16500 By our amazing students Max West, @QuAntonioMele, and also feature @MartinLaroo See 🧵 for details:
