Quantum versus Avalanche Breakdown Randomness
December 8, 2021 | 10 minutesAvalanche breakdown and quantum are two methods for generating true random numbers. Here, we’ll compare them for feasibility and quality. The feasibility of a TRNG is how many bits per second it can produce while remaining random. And that leads us into quality which will be determined according to the NIST’s STS.
Custom Gates in Qiskit with Pulse
December 7, 2021 | 4 minutesQuantum research often requires applying operations in novel ways; however, it’s occasionally necessary to create gates to reduce circuit length. If too many operations are applied to a qubit, the quantum state is lost and no valuable insight can be gained.
Quantum Tales
May 18, 2021 |Shortly after becoming an IBM Qiskit Advocate, I was introduced to the Unitary Fund. After writing a story where the reader uses Shor’s algorithm to decrypt a stock listing, I wanted to create more stories teaching quantum algorithms. With the help of the Unitary Fund, I was able to realize this dream.
