Qiskit updates
==============

FYI

Assorted new things in Qiskit 0.32, Qiskit Runtime API, which provided users with the possibility for some experiments to be executed significantly faster within an improved hybrid quantum/classical process, etc.

Select your prefereed talk date
===============================

If you have a preference for when to give your talk, write me by the end of today.  Tomorrow I will assign dates, and post it on this blog.  This is necessary to give people enough time to prepare their talks.


Volunteers to present homework answers to class
===============================================

If you would like to present your solution to the following homeworks to the class next Mon 11/29, for extra points, write me.  The first person to write gets it.   A reasonable talk is 5-15 minutes.

#. homework 10, q1, Grover
#. homework 10, q2, transmon qubit
#. homework 11


My spring class in parallel computing
=====================================

If you liked this class, in Spring 2022, I am teaching ECSE-4740-01 APPL PARALLEL COMP FOR ENGRS.   `Poster <../files/4740-AppliedParallelComputing.pdf>`_
