Oqtant Community Update - Quantum Leap Year Challenge

Dear Oqtant Community,

Oqtant is online this week (and next week and the following week)!

February 27th - March 14th

Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday, 10 a.m. – 3 p.m. MT (UTC-7)


Oqtant’s Quantum Leap Year Challenge

Leap Year only occurs once every 7 years, and Oqtant will be online for a bonus week (February 27 - March 14). During this three-week period, you’ll have the chance to win one of 16 prizes, ranging from a $25 USD Visa gift card to Oqtant job credits worth up to $2,500.

Find more details on how to join the fun on the challenge page and see the latest updates on the Oqtant Slack Workspace. Rules and terms apply.

New Demo Notebook: Collective Modes

You can use the Oqtant Simulator to explore outputs not available on the hardware, such as dynamics of the Bose-Einstein condensate (BEC) at all times, and properties of the condensate's wave function (the collective quantum state occupied by thousands of atoms), including its phase. In this new demo notebook, we show how to use phase information to understand better what is happening with the condensate.


Are you attending the APS March Meeting?

So are we! I (Alex) will be presenting Oqtant: democratizing quantum research and education with cloud-accessible quantum matter on March 6th. Visit us at booth 1629 in the exhibit hall to see live demos and chat with the team. Email us if you’d like to set up time to talk – we’d love to see you!


Funding Opportunity

Have you seen the National Science Foundation (NSF)’s new solicitation for proposals to the Expand Capacity in Quantum Information Science and Engineering (ExpandQISE) program? We encourage you to consider implementing Oqtant in this proposal. If you are interested, contact us and we can develop a budget that will meet your goals. LOIs are due March 08, 2024.


We hope you are as inspired as we are to see Oqtant already being put to good use. Whether on social media, the Oqtant Slack Workspace, or directly with us, we want to hear about your exploration and promote your Oqtant successes.

Best wishes,

Alex Tingle and the Oqtant Team
