Quantum computing is exciting… but it’s also very hard. And not just that, it’s also changing and moving and evolving at a really fast pace. Keeping up with all the announcements and new releases and entire platform changes is half of the fun. If you caught my other posts you can see I’m learning in the open here, so keeping with that spirit, here’s my collection of what I think are the most popular technology blogs about Quantum Computing. If you have any other suggestions, let me know!
The Quantum Insider: This one is as close to the TechCrunch of quantum computing as it seems anyone has gotten. It’s got a lot of breaking news, press releases, and some good hot takes and editorial content. I haven’t tried their “Intelligence Platform” yet (who has the money for this as an individual?) but I hope to check it out sometime.
Quantum Untangled: This is a Substack written by Ryan Morrison and it’s not just informative but he seems to put effort into talking with the people and teams behind the press releases. Great to read a real journalist in this space.
Quantum journal: This is a non-profit and open access peer-reviewed journal that provides high visibility for quality research on quantum science and related fields. Can be a bit heavy being focused on papers but still a super useful resources.
Gizmodo | Quantum Computers: Gizmodo is a big tech blog but their Quantum Computing section is pretty good. No idea why. But happy that it is, and not just the usual press releases and such.
Quantum Computing Report: This blog provides a wide range of resources including a list of software, systems, cloud access points, and applications related to quantum computing. The popup ads are a bit annoying and its not the best design, but there’s good stuff there.
Qiskit blog on Medium: It wouldn’t be a quantum computing roundup without IBM’s community project getting namechecked. I wonder if they will always be the dominant one, but for now they are, and the community is super friendly and helpful.
Microsoft Quantum Blog: Microsoft’s quantum computing blog can be a little heavy on the self serving side of things, but they’ve been active and there’s a lot going on. Plus it’s good that it’s not just IBM all the time!
InsideHPC | Quantum Computing: This blog covers news and analysis on the Quantum Computing industry/market. One of the ugliest blogs you will ever read on the topic but there’s useful content tucked in amongst the shockingly old fashioned CMS.
QuTech Blog: QuTech, a collaboration between TU Delft and TNO (Netherlands Organisation for Applied Scientific Research), shares progress in their research in quantum technology on this blog. Needs updating but some good stuff in there.
Quantum AI (Google Quantum): This blog is from Google’s Quantum AI team, where they share updates on their latest quantum computing research. It’s a shiny website and takes a little effort to dig into the good stuff, but that’s Google these days I guess. Fancy.
I’m sure there are a LOT more but these are the ones I use for now. I hope that we see more and more independent journalists focusing on deep tech like this, so let me know if you see any.
