⏳ 10 Days Left to Apply for Quantum Creators Con! Register Today: https://lnkd.in/eTHDADEP I am so excited to meet the future participants for Quantum Creators Con hosted by QuEra Computing Inc. This competition partners NYC STEM students with experience in quantum computing or related fields with creative students skilled in digital media. Together participants will form teams to create content on neutral atom quantum computing. This week-long event will culminate in a live showcase on February 9, 2025, Columbia University. By approaching the technology from a creative lens rather than a technical focus, the event seeks to improve public understanding of neutral atom quantum computing. To make this event possible, we’ve partnered with The UK Talent Network who seek to highlight their commitment to fostering global partnerships and supporting students in pursuing careers in quantum computing and related industries. This event couldn’t be possible with you Dr Eilidh AB Hall and the support of your team UK Business and Trade - North America. Why Participate? ✨ $1,000 Cash Prizes (2 Winning Teams) ✨ Career Opportunities: Connect with recruiters from quantum and creative industries. ✨ Workshops: Learn about neutral atom quantum hardware and science communication. ✨ Showcase & Publicity: Get your work seen and grow your network. Registration for Quantum Creators Con is open until January 24, 2025, or until we reach our maximum capacity of 70 participants. Registration operates on a rolling basis, so we encourage you to apply early! This competition is hybrid you must be a NYC student to apply. Please share this opportunity with your network. I’d also like to thank Moth, Unitary Foundation, Error Corp., CCNY Grove School of Engineering, and instructors (Scott Oshiro, James Wootton, Pedro Leopoldo e Silva Lopes, Sergio Cantu, Louis Charron, Dr. Laura Scherling, EdD, and Angelina Frank) who truly helped bring this vision to life. We are all so excited to welcome our first cohort. #NYCCollegeStudents #Competition #Design #Quantum #QuantumComputing #CUNY

"It's like you're using noise-canceling headphones that make a lot of noise themselves." Every operation on a quantum computer introduces noise and, thus, errors. Even detecting quantum errors requires interacting with the quantum computer, introducing additional errors. Learn more from our interview with Dennis Lucarelli about how Error Corp. pioneers a new approach to detect and correct quantum errors more efficiently: https://lnkd.in/euc2tPDx

How I broke into quantum computing and how you can too: It started with a final project in my Waves and Quantum course. We were asked to explore a topic in the class in further depth, and as you may have guessed, I researched Quantum Computing. I fell in love with the technology and soon enough I was living on IBM Quantum Qiskit’s page. My journey is unique, but I hope this can help other quantum enthusiasts who are looking to get deeper into the field. 👩🏽💻The internet is your best resource: I started my journey by doing research. Qiskit is a great resource but there’s also Black Opal, PennyLane, Cirq, Microsoft Azure Quantum, and so many more! There also companies that are willing to pay you to do your research if you come up with an idea worth exploring, like Unitary Fund. Many of these companies also have discord/slack channels which can be really beneficial to connect with other enthusiasts. You might meet someone who wants to do a hackathon together, a future mentor, or a connection to the next opportunity! 🤝 Make a good impression: I’d like to emphasize that the quantum community is extremely small! You will often run into the same people at events and internships because the technology is still at an early stage. Thus, more than any other industry, your reputation matters. 👩🏽🏫Apply to internships: My first formal exposure to quantum computing was through The Coding School. I was a part of their first cohort for the Early Quantum Immersion Program (EQCI) dedicated to teaching students about the field and connecting them with internships. After my four weeks of training I started my internship at IBM and got to implement my skills within a software role. I was also accepted to MITRE’S Quantum Moonshot Research program, however I chose the latter because I was looking for a little more training before getting into research. These are two amazing programs I would recommend to any undergraduate looking to get into the field! After that, I landed a research position during the school year by cold emailing a professor at Columbia. Nevertheless, this was my journey! Do your research STARTING NOW. Many quantum computing companies are offering internships and are willing to teach you as long as you have a technical background. Now I am a Product Marketing Associate at Error Corp. I couldn’t be more grateful to be working for a company that values my development, encourages me to test new ideas, and intentionally employs amazing people! If you’re interested in learning more about Error Corp. I’d encourage you to tune into their Tech Talk on Monday, June 17 covering topics on workforce development, product discovery, and proof-of-concept prototyping. I hope this was helpful, let me know if you guys would be interested in me sharing more resources and opportunities within the quantum ecosystem! #earlycareer #quantumcomputing

One Student’s Journey to a Career in Quantum Computing Quantum careers aren’t just for physicists. Just ask Rebecca Golovanov (Bex for short)! Bex is a Class of 2024 student at the University of Chicago majoring in mathematics and computer science. After graduating this Saturday, she’ll be working full-time with Error Corp., a software startup focused on error control for quantum computers. Error Corp. first approached Bex for an internship in Summer 2023. Even though Bex hadn’t taken any classes in quantum physics, the company invited her to join them as a summer research intern because of her strong background in theoretical mathematics and computer science. Prior to joining Error Corp., Bex completed an impressive lineup of experiences that included two summers in the Math Department’s Research Experience for Undergraduates (REU) program, where she wrote research papers on abstract algebra and elliptic curves under the supervision of graduate student mentors. Bex’s skills in research, quantitative analysis, and mathematical theory were major assets for her role at Error Corp. During her internship, Bex analyzed academic literature and explored opportunities for how error-reduction codes proposed in research papers could be implemented in real-world software applications. Bex had such a positive experience that she accepted Error Corp.’s invitation to continue her work during her fourth year and join the company full-time as an error control analyst after graduation. “UChicago made me much more adventurous and ambitious, both within school and with regards to my career,” Bex said. “This learned willingness to go out of my comfort zone was instrumental in my success at my internship. I'm looking forward to continuing my work with Error Corp. after graduation, as well as applying to computer science PhD programs (and maybe even relaxing a bit).” Congratulations Bex – here’s to the start of an incredible career!

I’m excited to announce my new role as a part-time Product Marketing Associate at Error Corp. This last week I had such an amazing time at the Quantum.Tech conference learning about the market of quantum computing and the varying solutions arising within the field. Three key takeaways from the conference: 💡Tie it back to your product: As scientist and engineers we’re extremely passionate about the technicalities that go behind the product however it’s more important to remain focused on the value you’re providing to the customers. 🖊️ Less is more: Having unnecessary graphics and jargon on your slides is distracting. If you don’t plan to discuss it within your presentation it’s better to leave it out. 🎤 Speak with conviction: Confidence is key to getting your message across to your audience. If you don’t sound like you believe in your solution no one will. I want to give a huge thank you to Dennis Lucarelli for this opportunity. I had such an amazing time working alongside him during the conference. I also want to thank Michael Biercuk, Kate Glode, Dr. Rob Campbell FBBA, Keisha Sapp, CMP, and Esther Han for all your insights and advice during the conference. As an early professional, it was so inspiring to hear about your career journeys. #quantum #quantumtech #quantumcomputing
