Xanadu with Nathan Killoran
from Contributor Hosted by Eric Anderson
Nathan Killoran (@co9olguy) guides Eric Anderson (@ericmander) through the cutting-edge world of quantum machine learning at Xanadu, a quantum computing company that is innovating with its use of photonics. Nathan is Xanadu’s Head of Software, Algorithms, & Quantum Machine Learning, and has detailed insight on their main open-source software projects, StrawberryFields and PennyLane. On today’s episode, Nathan explains how the barrier to contributing may be lower than you think, even if you don’t have a PhD in quantum physics. In this episode we discuss: Designing software for Xanadu’s unique approach to quantum computing Machine learning, differentiable programming and more in the quantum domain How even high school students can contribute to an open-source quantum computing project Is there a road map for quantum machine learning?
