The Quantum Science Gateway Project is a Latin American initiative with partners in the US focused on advancing quantum computing and its related interdisciplinary fields, such as quantum optics, quantum information, photonics, artificial intelligence, nanosciences, and robotics. A key objective of this initiative is to effectively spread the knowledge and promote understanding of quantum computing within a diverse spectrum of stakeholders in Latin America, including educators, students, researchers, practitioners, and newcomers with limited programming and computing skills.
The initiative also aims to foster an inclusive and supportive vibrant quantum environment that provides networking opportunities and encourages collaboration at various levels, ranging from local groups and communities to regional, national, and international partnerships. These efforts aim to enhance awareness of the importance of acquiring relevant competencies necessary to meet the demand for quantum technology expertise in developed countries' job markets.
The Quantum Science Gateway Project is committed to creating an integrated platform that promotes collaboration, innovation, and education. We are dedicated to showing an integrative approach to programming on major quantum computing platforms available to date. This approach highlights the variety of programming languages and libraries utilized in these platforms, which can pose challenges for beginners, newcomers, and individuals unfamiliar with the field, impeding their ability to acquire knowledge and effectively use quantum computing resources.
To address this issue, we have developed Qinterpreter, a library that serves as a Qiskit, Pyquil, Pennylane, Amazon-Braket, and Cirq combined solution. These libraries were selected based on their GitHub metrics, ensuring their popularity and reliability. By consolidating these libraries, Qinterpreter establishes a unified framework that facilitates interaction and code execution across multiple quantum computing platforms.
The vision of the Quantum Science Gateway Project is to become the platform that connects the diverse quantum communities at research institutions and universities in Mexico and partners in the US. The future commitment is to facilitate research and industrial educational programs, online courses, community-focused networks, virtual training, and education.
These endeavors will be aligned with effective pedagogical models, with the ultimate goal of nurturing the growth and development of the next generation of the quantum workforce. In this context, the future commitment is to provide competency-based skills certifications through micro-diplomas that will be responsive to society's and the market's needs. This will primarily focus on benefiting undergraduate and graduate students and young researchers in Mexico and the US. Furthermore, we aspire to extend this model to other countries in Latin America, fostering an inclusive and supportive environment. By doing so, the project will encourage networking opportunities and cultivate future collaborations among participants.
