Excited to share that our project qiskit-ibm-transpiler has been recognized as the 4th most used quantum computing development tool globally in the Unitary Fund survey 2024, under the "Full-stack development platforms, compilers, and simulators" category.
🚀 We're thrilled to announce the latest open-source LLM releases from the Qiskit Code Assistant team! 🚀

These new models bring enhanced capabilities and broader compatibility to quantum computing development.

Yesterday I returned to my alma mater, @usaloficial.bsky.social, to share my PhD journey with current doctoral students. Encouraged them to make the most of this adventure in preparation for what’s next!

Thanks for the invitation, it’s always a pleasure 🎓

⚠Paper alert!

In this new paper we introduce a RL-based synthesis pass for Pauli Networks (Clifford + arbitrary angle Pauli rotation circuits), and an optimization pass for general circuits that uses this Pauli Network synthesis pass.

Pauli Network Circuit Synthesis with Reinforcement Learning
We introduce a Reinforcement Learning (RL)-based method for re-synthesis of quantum circuits containing arbitrary Pauli rotations alongside Clifford operations. By collapsing each sub-block to a compa...

New Qiskit HumanEval release! 🚀

We've just updated huggingface.co/datasets/Qis... to be compatible with the latest Qiskit 1.4 release!

Exciting update!

The Qiskit Code Assistant service now exposes compatible endpoints with OpenAI's Completions API. This integration enables seamless usage via existing libraries (OpenAI, LiteLLM, etc.), making it easy to infuse Qiskit knowledge into your LLM pipelines.

How we implemented test-time computing for open models to solve complex math problems like OpenAI o1. 👀 Test-time compute methods use dynamic inference strategies to have LLMs “think longer” on harder problems, e.g. difficult math problems.

I'll get straight to the point.

We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT.

Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff.

It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵
