On Wednesdays at 5:30PM UTC the Unitary Fund hosts "Quantum Wednesday" (QW). The event is an hour long and generally pertains to quantum computing related topics. The main types of events are
- Invited speaker
- Paper review
- Focussed discussion/forum
- Social coding
- Mitiq office hours
The events are hosted on our discord, and are open for all to attend, regardless of quantum computing knowledge/skill. We encourage questions, and engagement from community members, but listening in is also completely acceptable. Hope to see you there!
