Hello! If you want to explore new horizons in quantum computer software this year and enhance your career, there's one thing I'd say: Let's use PyTorch.
Everyone, what quantum computer SDK are you using? Our company, blueqat, used to develop its own SDK (we invented simple chain method everybody is using now for quantum circuit programming), but currently, we believe that the most exciting direction in the quantum computing field is leveraging deep learning SDKs like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
Our clients in the industry may already be aware, but we haven't been strongly recommending dedicated quantum computer SDKs for a while now. Instead, most of our engineers internally use PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar tools.
While some might think that quantum computing and deep learning are vastly different fields, I can't help but acknowledge that they are increasingly converging. In fact, our company is able to perform both quantum computing and deep learning computations using cutting-edge deep learning SDKs.
MIT's Torch Quantum and Tencent's TensorCircuit, among others, are examples of such state-of-the-art SDKs. We've been utilizing these deep learning frameworks for years, not because we're particularly attached to them, but because they align with our clients' preferences and our engineers' interests.
We understand that some may have reservations, but the fact remains that using deep learning frameworks for quantum computing is an attractive option for those who want to build a career in both machine learning and quantum computing. While specific usage details are still lacking, as there aren't many developed tools or well-established theories in this field, it's an exciting avenue we've been exploring for the past few years.
By using deep learning tools for quantum computing, you can potentially combine both machine learning and quantum computing in your career. We hope to spread the usefulness of this approach this year, based on the progress and achievements our company has made over the past few years.
We regularly host study groups and events related to machine learning and quantum computing, so if you're interested in both quantum and deep learning, consider participating in blueqat's events and exploring this exciting field. That's all for now!
