One day, a mentor told me "You have the IQ. If you get the EQ, you’re going to be unstoppable.” If I wanted to reach my goals, I had to learn how to communicate my vision. Over a decade, I honed my skills, and today, I launched everything I learned in this course and community! I build this course for introverts who want to overcome their public speaking fears, overcome imposter syndrome, and build a powerful and confident presence online and offline, so you can open doors to new opportunities.

She also discusses the promise quantum computing holds for benefiting humanity, and provides sound advice to young professionals who might be interested in pursuing quantum computing as a career track.
Squeezing every bit of performance out of a NISQ-era quantum processor is usually handled in the software stack. But what if you could actually design QPUs for specific types of use cases? Anastasia Marchenkova is working on this approach at Bleximo and the result has been a remarkable boost to speed. Join host Konstantinos Karagiannis for a chat about the possibilities of these application-specific quantum computers, as well as the terrific awareness work Anastasia has been doing for years.
We talk about the different approaches to quantum computing, what it means for encryption (and Bitcoin), and why it absolutely does not make faster-than-light communication possible. (I wanted to be very, very clear about that!)
Join Scott Aaronson and Bleximo Researcher Anastasia Marchenkova at the closing keynote of the #Q2B Conference for a Fireside chat, reflecting on the year's accomplishments in the quantum computing space and discussions on the future of quantum hardware, error correction, and algorithms, and skepticism about quantum wormholes.
Could a quantum computer destroy bitcoin? And if it could, when should we start worrying about it? Join Anastasia Marchenkova to explore Shor’s algorithm, the one weird trick to breaking RSA and ECC encryption, the specific risks blockchain and cryptocurrencies face from large-scale quantum computers, and the potential mitigation strategies you'll need in a postquantum world.

Recently, Anastasia Marchenkova was a moderator at the Inside Quantum Technology panel in New York on Quantum Computing and cryptocurrencies. While there is no video of the event, the link is to YouTube video where I discuss my thoughts after the conference.
What are the security implications of a large, coherent, fault-tolerant quantum computer? Breaking RSA would take trillions of years with a classical computer. Shor’s Algorithm can do it in 100 seconds. This session will discuss the current status of quantum computers and the roadmap to 10 million qubits, Shor’s algorithm, risks to current encryption standards, and post-quantum and quantum cryptography.

The Quantum Information Science and Engineering Network (QISE-NET), co-led by the University of Chicago and Harvard University, provides selected students with $10K per year for up to three years. I spoke with fellow panelists from Google, IBM, and HRL to the students in the program about the challenges of transitioning from academia to industry and experiences working in startups.
The project expanded Qiskit’s OpenPulse feature to IBM Q’s QASM simulator, OpenPulse, and new quantum chip backends. It enables users to calibrate qubits by modifying the microwave pulse sent to quantum hardware. We expanded this feature to simulators, took information from real chips and rewrote the lexer and parser to create a new coding language to allow for precise control of pulses for real hardware.
The project expanded adding profiling infrastructure (time and size) to Qiskit Aqua to find slow code execution. The profilers are made available through the built-in logging infrastructure, and there are 4 levels of logging available.

The differential ac Stark shift of the ground-level microwave transition used for storage is reduced to a sub-Hz level by the application of a magic-valued magnetic field. The 1 / e lifetime for storage of coherent states of light is prolonged up to 16 s by a microwave dynamic decoupling protocol. Y. O. Dudin, L. Li, and A. Kuzmich

Decided I didn't want to do more high school. Got accepted to the Georgia Institute of Technology as a 11th grader through regular admissions. Everyone was confused but all I needed was to double up on Lit and History that year, submitted documents to the state and got the diploma.
