Rigetti Computing’s Post

There is so much 🫂 good stuff happening through MNT for students, for faculty. You really might want to follow our page... Not-so-subtle hint, huh? You can click through to "This Week in Small" link (from our email) that gets you to all the other news. #internships #students #education #communitycollege

During the first part of my gap year, I had the privilege of working at Alice & Bob as a Superconducting Qubit Simulation Intern in their Microwave team. Over these six months, I delved into the field of quantum computing, focusing on simulating circuits (well at least, parts of them) and testing new simulation software. This experience allowed me to work closely with a team of exceptionally passionate and dedicated individuals whose enthusiasm for their work was both contagious and admirable. To my Alice&Bob colleagues, it may come as a surprise that my favorite part of the internship was not the weekly snacky time, but rather working with Felix, Danielius, Salim, Przemek, Mattis, and Yuki. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity they gave me to learn and progress in such a complex field. I would like to add a very special thank you to Felix, for being an outstanding mentor and guide. If you are interested in quantum computing, developing in an intellectually stimulating environment, and working with an amazing team, I highly recommend exploring the opportunities at Alice&Bob and especially this one : https://lnkd.in/ejNYyN5P This internship has been an invaluable experience, significantly enhancing both my technical skills and professional growth. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to the entire team at Alice & Bob for their support and mentorship. P.S. : Below you will find an attempt to reproduce the iconic A&B cat using the meshing tool Gmsh. Was this a fail because drawing a cat turned out harder that I anticipated or because I want to encourage you to visit A&B's website to find out what the cat really looks like ? That question will remain unanswered.

Super grateful to be appreciated on my project on piezoelectric materials by someone as well-versed with this space as Sumaya K.! To answer your question, about which even I contemplate very often, I think its the deep technical/scientific knowledge that is necessary, regardless of the medium through which one acquires it. High-quality information has become super accessible. I can read research papers of world-class standard on material science online, and can learn concepts I don't understand as and when I get stuck. And more importantly, just performing experiments teaches so much! Absorbing scientific information is way easier when you actually do it yourself. Would love to hear others' take on this too!

Thanks to USC Thomas Lord Department of Computer Science for the interview!

" Interferometry is a technique which uses the interference of superimposed waves to extract information.[1] Interferometry typically uses electromagnetic waves and is an important investigative technique in the fields of astronomy, fiber optics, engineering metrology, optical metrology, oceanography, seismology, spectroscopy (and its applications to chemistry), quantum mechanics, nuclear and particle physics, plasma physics, biomolecular interactions, surface profiling, microfluidics, mechanical stress/strain measurement, velocimetry, optometry, and making holograms." https://lnkd.in/gqw_JzJb

𝐌𝐚𝐠𝐢𝐜? 𝐍𝐨𝐩𝐞. 𝐈𝐭’𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐅𝐚𝐫𝐚𝐝𝐚𝐲’𝐬 𝐋𝐚𝐰 𝐢𝐧 𝐚𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. It even works through some solid objects! 🪄🎩 Close to the end of my KAIST internship, I got an idea: 💡 𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘣𝘶𝘪𝘭𝘥 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘐 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘨𝘦𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴? 𝐇𝐞𝐫𝐞’𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐢𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬: 1- The coil connected to the battery transmits invisible magnetic waves. 2- These waves are “caught” by the receiver coil, producing electricity. 3- LED Turns ON. 🔌 That’s basically the main idea behind the internship, sending electricity through the air without wires! While the range wasn’t great (one reason: small diameter of the coils), the process was invaluable. Plus, I learned to solder for the first time, adding another skill to my toolkit. This small experiment was a powerful reminder: ✨ 𝘓𝘦𝘢𝘳𝘯𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘤𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘷𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘰𝘳𝘺 𝘮𝘦𝘦𝘵𝘴 𝘢𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯.

Task-1 Titanic Classification 🚢: In this project, I used the K-Nearest Neighbors (KNN) algorithm to predict passenger survival on the Titanic. Key factors such as socio-economic status, age, and gender were analyzed to determine their impact on survival rates. #CodeAlpha #DataScience #Internship

Need an answer to the age-old question: who am I going to hire over the summer that is an engineering genius and also sneaks in stray cats? We found her! 🤭 In honor of National Intern Week, we'd like to honor our cat-loving intern Amanda Wolf! Name: Amanda Wolf School: Purdue University Fun Fact: I have jet-skied in a thunderstorm. Favorite thing about The Pantheon: The history and atmosphere of the building! Zodiac Sign: Cancer Favorite Movie Quote: "I know I can never defeat you, Lobo. But I will never stop fighting for this life." - Puss in Boots: The Last Wish What do you want to be: Synthetic Biologist / Genetic Engineer Top 3 most used emojis: 😂🫡💥 What are you hoping to gain from your internship?: A better grasp of industry workings, and to both contribute and advance my skills with a real project that will make a difference in the world. Thank you for all you do Amanda!

Challenging research on multiscale dynamics of polyelectrolytes

Your 20s are the best way to try, fail, achieve and experiment. The #US #market is in #shambles and well, we still managed to get internships. Well, here's something that I've wanted to do for a really long time. Listen to this insightful podcast from me, with UTKARSH NANDA and Minal Kyada, Interns at Argonne National Laboratory and Intel Corporation. We are Graduate Students in Computer Science at Illinois Institute of Technology. https://lnkd.in/gQxtJPwn
