 The Unitary Fund's microgrant program recently marked an incredible milestone: over 100 microgrants awarded! This achievement highlights the program's pivotal role in advancing open source quantum technology projects globally. Through grants and open-source ecosystem development, Unitary Fund fosters a flourishing, multiplying effect within the broader quantum ecosystem. These small but impactful investments drive accessible and transparent progress, essential for unlocking the full potential of quantum technology.

 We are a group of graduate students at the University of Washington (UW) who spent the last ten weeks working with Unitary Fund as participants in UW’s Accelerating Quantum-Enabled Technologies (AQET) capstone course. AQET is an interdisciplinary traineeship program involving a unique curriculum in quantum information science and engineering, including the capstone course which pairs students with industry professionals and academic mentors for a quarter-long project. We worked with Unitary Fund to create a benchmarking pipeline and GUI using the Mitiq library, with the hopes of providing users a streamlined tool to compare overhead requirements and the effectiveness of various quantum error mitigation methods in Mitiq.

 In various quantum optimization problems, choosing the right ansatz is a critical point that will affect the accuracy of the result. For example, in Variational Quantum Eigensolver, many template ansatzes have been proposed, such as Graph Ansatz and EffecientSU2, etc. An ansatz [1] is the structure of quantum gates, deciding how many and what type of gates will be used, for easier imagination, it's equivalent to the model's architecture in a deep learning model.

 Unitary Fund and [Qrack](https://github.com/unitaryfund/qrack) are proud to partner with the [Xanadu PennyLane Catalyst](https://docs.pennylane.ai/projects/catalyst/en/stable/index.html) team to release an open-source plugin for PennyLane that supports quantum just-in-time (QJIT) compilation! The plugin supports all constructor options available in the [PyQrack](https://github.com/unitaryfund/pyqrack) `QrackSimulator` class, including so-called hybrid stabilizer, quantum binary decision diagrams (QBDD), just-in-time local circuit simplification with a novel tensor network technique and representation based directly on quantum circuit diagrams, and single-and-multi-GPU state vector simulation, with our without our Schmidt decomposition techniques. Remember the Qrack device back end for PennyLane if you’d like to leverage GPU acceleration but don’t want to complicate your choice of devices or device initialization, to handle a mixture of wide and narrow qubit registers in your subroutines without manually switching between GPU-based and CPU-based back ends.

 When an open quantum system is strongly coupled to a structured environment, describing the dynamics of that system becomes a challenging problem.  Moreover, traditional approaches, based on time evolution of the reduced density matrix are generally not able to correctly calculate higher-order or multi-time correlations. In the past few years efficient tensor network-based techniques based on an influence functional approach have been developed to address both these issues [1-5]. With the development of the OQuPy (**O**pen **Qu**antum Systems in **Py**thon) package we hoped to open up these methods to a much wider audience by placing the complex algorithms behind a user-friendly and intuitive interface.

 Over the past few years, interest in the field of quantum computing has grown dramatically, especially in communities of high school students! While lots of quantum-related educational material is scattered around the Internet, it is oftentimes difficult to find curated, accessible, and high-quality resources. This blog post aims to (hopefully) provide a comprehensive list of quantum computing-related resources and opportunities for high-schoolers. For some context, I just graduated from high school, and have been interested in quantum computing for about two years now. I have a lot of personal experience self-studying the field, and I have used/participated in some of the resources listed below!

 I was introduced to the Unitary Fund through [The Coding School’s](https://the-cs.org/)- [Qubit x Qubit](https://www.qubitbyqubit.org/) Early Quantum Career Immersion Program for undergraduate students. In June 2022, After three weeks of rigorous quantum computing training with Qubit x Qubit, I began my seven-week internship with the Unitary Fund.  When I applied to the program and began learning about quantum computing, I had very little knowledge and experience in both quantum and classical computing. After learning the basics of quantum computing, I was eager to start my work with Unitary Fund and learn even more through hands-on work.
