This was amazing! Thanks for joining, my friends! I hear next year will be even bigger.
IonQ is a challenge host at @MIT’s iQuHACK this weekend. The annual hackathon brings together students and early-career professionals to explore quantum devices and applications and test code on real quantum hardware. Stay tuned for who takes the crown: iquise.mit.edu/iQuHACK/2025-…

Curious about how ion traps function? Funny enough, DALL-E decided to label it as 'ION ☥RAP'! 😄 #QuantumComputing #IonTraps

I just got into #DevRel rabbit hole, but I LOVE it. Was looking for some formal approach for a while now. I think I found it!
🔥 Let's talk about the #DevRel-to-burnout pipeline. I've watched many new dev advocates burn out after a few intense years. In fact, over 40% of respondents to the State of DevRel 2023 report said they were burnt out! So, how do you avoid burnout as a dev advocate?

a German research group published their work that utilizes $IONQ hardware: "The results indicate IonQ Aria yields the best overlap with the ideal probability distribution." arxiv.org/pdf/2402.05549.pdf

at #QHack2024 in Toronto, Canada, @Vadi from $IONQ hosted a workshop where he discussed how to start using IonQ QPUs; best practices on Aria and Forte; the physics of native gates; and error mitigation: debiasing and sharpening. qhack.ai/
