Any thoughts on adding Quantum Algorithms?

[Vasuji]

This could include a very large family and could go beyond the scope of the current plan. Introducing some basic quantum algorithms could be helpful for beginners. There are currently, gate based QC (e.g., IBM, Google, Rigetti) and Quantum annealers ( DWave). Am I missing others, topological or quantum optics based QC? The image below shows where is QC going in the future? Image Courtesy: Quantum Computing, Progress and Prospects

I think that's a great plan!

Go for it!!! If it becomes a monster, then we could create a separate repo but it is best to get started.

Ideas?

I would also find this interesting to look into:

D-Wave: https://www.dwavesys.com and https://github.com/dwavesystems Google: https://research.google/teams/applied-science/quantum IBM: https://qiskit.org and https://github.com/Qiskit Rigetti: https://rigetti.com and https://github.com/rigetti

All talk, no action. :-(

@Vasuji @hackercyclops12 How do we get some quantum algorithms?!?

[ghost]

I'm not sure

quantum computing is often used for medical sciences or predicting natural recurrences such as weather and how that relates to agriculture

A recent one is climate change around the globe and how it is affecting certain parts of country's

Most likely you would need a quantum computer to check the "quantum algorithim" after it is written

In short I have no idea where we will get some algorithms from as they are developed for private enterprises (However you might be able to find some basic ones with some research)

[cclauss]

Above you mentioned four quantum algorithms:

• Shor's algorithm
• Grover's algorithm
• Quantum Fourier transform
• Topological quantum field theory

Could we start with one of those?

Sure! lets choose one to start @cclauss & @Vasuji which one do you want to start with?
