Hi! My name is Michał and this is my blog “Musty Thoughts”.

If you are new here, the purpose of this page is to help you quickly find the most interesting content. It doesn’t list all the posts, just the most significant – for categorized list of all the posts, see “Categories” page.

Quantum Computing

Learning

• If you’d like to learn more about variational quantum algorithms and how to near-term quantum computers, there’s a series of artciles starting with VQE. The whole series is available on arXiv as a 65-pages long PDF.
• In this post I’ve explained how to start your own project in QC. You can find a couple of examples on the projects page and I’ve talked about one of my projects (Variational Quantum Factoring) in this talk.
• How to get started in Quantum Computing – a talk where I give some tips about how to approach learning QC as well as building a career. Link to slides.
• There’s a lot of other learning resources on the “Resources” page.

Career and community

• You can read how I started my professional journey with QC in this article – many people found it useful and inspiring.
• In this article I have argued that no matter what is your level of expertise, you can contribute to the QC community.
• At QOSF there’s a mentorship program that I started for people interested in QC.
• A talk where I lay out my career development philosophy and best practices.
• Again, more on the “Resources” page.

Other topics

• I’ve written some articles about productivity: Measuring work satisfaction and Learning with each sprint.
