All about Quantum Computing

Guidelines

1. Civility & Respect are expected. Please report any uncivil conduct.
- Please follow proper reddiquette.
1. No accounts less than 2 days old allowed to post
- Not enough karma or new account - this is to protect from spam. Ignoring this rule will get you temporarily or permanently banned by the AutoMod.
1. Career/education questions only allowed in weekly megathread
- Questions that are about career/education advice and not quantum computing itself are only allowed in the weekly megathread. Please leave a comment there instead of making a full post.
1. Posts must be high quality
- Posts cannot just be a link or vague question, please write something original and high quality for people to read and discuss.
1. Posts must be on-topic
- All posts must be quantum computing related. No posts about market speculation, quantum hype articles, how you should find a career, memes, etc.
1. No incoherent/crank posts
- This includes quantum mysticism, discussions about consciousness, claiming you solved P=NP, clearly not knowing the basics that you are posting about, etc.
1. No AI-generated content
- This subreddit is for academic discussion, posts that are primarily or entirely the output of an LLM without significant human discussion are not allowed. This includes comments; responses that are clearly generated by an LLM will be removed.
1. No excessive advertising
- In general, advertising self-made tools, organizations, and content is not allowed on this subreddit. However, personal projects, open source tooling, or upcoming events may be allowed at moderator discretion. If you're unsure, send us a message via modmail.
1. No investment speculation
- This subreddit is for academic discussion of the scientific field of quantum computing. It is NOT the place to discuss market trends, corporate performance, or investment speculation. See r/investing or similar for investment advice.
1. Discussions about blockchain or AI must directly relate to quantum computing
- While quantum computing is interdisciplenary and intersects various facets of computer science, physics, and cybersecurity, this subreddit is only to be used for content directly relating to quantum computing. Posts that minimally connect to quantum computing such as "What does quantum computing mean for bitcoin?" will be removed unless there is sufficient substance relating to quantum computing in the post body.
1. No memes or joke posts
- This subreddit is for academic discussion. See r/QuantumMemes for jokes about quantum computing.
1. Homework help
- Posts asking others to complete homework assignments will be removed. Specific targeted questions about topics in quantum computing and how to better understand them (with homework as the motivation) are allowed on this subreddit.
