The Qiskit Community hopes to serve as a welcoming space for anyone and everyone interested in quantum computing, and we’ve made a few updates to our Code of Conduct to reflect that. Learn more:

Today, on the Qiskit blog, we’re highlighting a fun Qiskit Ecosystem project that provides users with a handy, GUI-based tool for building Bloch sphere visualizations. Check it out!

#145: Tune in to hear about a work I am very proud of. Oles Shtanko will tell us about "Uncovering Local Integrability on #IBM Quantum Hardware" on the @Qiskit #QuantumSeminar 🔴 Tune in now to ask question & discuss live https://t.co/dsOKOrILFW

This will be the last release before we launch Qiskit 1.0, so you may notice we're making a few more changes than usual. To get all the details, be sure to check our documentation for the full release notes: https://t.co/UeB7DrRFKx 2/2

Qiskit v0.45 is here! 👩‍💻 API improvements for working with transpiler passes and layouts 🔩 New hardware-aware synthesis functionality 📈 Performance improvements 💨 Clean-up for deprecated code Read our latest Qiskit blog to learn more: https://t.co/btvQiXYQvo 1/2

On the blog, @ZhidingLiang, Jinglei Cheng and @hanrui_w detail their approach to executing pulse-level VQE. For more details, be sure to read the full piece on the Qiskit Medium: https://t.co/r5ct06OV2Q 5/5

The Qiskit Pulse module allows users to customize pulse shapes and adjust parameters like amplitude, phase, shape, and frequency. Users can also use the Qiskit Ecosystem project Qiskit Dynamics to quickly and efficiently simulate the resulting pulse schedules. 4/5

Fortunately, Qiskit users aren't limited to working at the gate level. Qiskit also provides pulse-level programming capabilities that allow us to get much more creative with how we approach variational algorithms like the variational quantum eigensolver (VQE) 3/5

Variational quantum algorithms (VQAs) have gained a lot of traction in recent years as useful tools for exploring optimization and quantum chemistry problems, but traditional gate-level approaches have a lot of redundancies and inefficiencies. 2/5

On the Qiskit blog, we're exploring how a tool from the Qiskit ecosystem can help us improve the performance of variational quantum algorithms. Take a look: https://t.co/r5ct06OV2Q 1/5

Announcing the Quantum Explorers Qiskit Challenge launching November 28! 🚀 Join the ongoing Quantum Explorers 2023-24 cohort and put your skills to the test: https://t.co/dPSEzf1iiy

🌟 Join us for a unique @Qiskit Quantum Seminar with Jay Gambetta and four amazing scientists! This isn't your regular seminar; we're diving deep into the world of large-scale quantum circuits, seeing 1/2 https://t.co/xGnhxQkuTj

Head over to the Qiskit YouTube to check out the episode: https://t.co/DchrAKsOCQ And if you’re curious to recreate this simulation for yourself using Qiskit, we have a code tutorial set up for you here: https://t.co/UHEqAkV1mu 2/2

Quantum Paradoxes, a series where we resolve quantum paradoxes using the tools of quantum computing, is back with more episodes each Wednesday—the first of which correlates the famous Schrödinger’s Cat experiment with quantum superposition. https://t.co/G9NdaBHzr9 1/2

Last call! If you are a Quantum Software user, make your voice heard! 👇

Join me for an engaging and informative @qiskit #quantum seminar featuring Sagar Vijay, professor from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB). This seminar is a valuable opportunity to gain insights into advancements in the field. https://t.co/QpiaLc66zd

We’re excited about this change, so that we can continue to empower the developers, researchers, and students that use our resources and docs in their work—now closer to where they get system access and track jobs. 5/5

None of the content from Qiskit will be going away, and community-built content like the Qiskit Textbook will remain on a public legacy archive on GitHub. https://t.co/cRuTftTuCq 4/5

That is why we’re migrating Qiskit educational resources and documentation into IBM Quantum Platform—to offer a more unified experience. https://t.co/fjC4KiufPZ 3/5

We want to emphasize that we are still fiercely committed to open-source software development and education. Our users should be able to access the resources they need to do their best work without having to search across multiple website and libraries. 2/5

We’re announcing some important changes to https://t.co/SHBGkHyrPJ. Check out this week’s Qiskit blog and the thread below for more. https://t.co/CSlrcQTgz9 1/5
