Thank you for your valuable suggestions!
Totally agree. There are too much noise on the way to the target and we have to keep the original intention.
That's a great idea. I'll try it from now on.
Agreed. I think that's the basis of promotion and marketing: find your users and make sure you can reach them. I'll try to be more focused on meeting the needs. Ty.
Yes. Marketing skills are significant, and I'm trying to learn more about it. It's just at the early stage for me though lol. I hope I can stick to it.
Agreed. What's wise to do is always focus on where we are, instead of admiring others. I'm trying to adjust my mindset. And I'm also expecting more related hardwares or environments for quantum computers.
I'm not an expert in quantum holography, but as far as I know, it's a kind of fault tolerance framework. If so, then the most fundamental layer of this technical route would still be qubits, only the requirements for scale or fidelity are looser. Actually I also believe in Fault Tolerant quantum computing, and many great works have been done. But the sad story is our lab chose a route that is not fault-tolerance friendly (at least for now), so I'm a little nervous. Anyway I hope the day will come soon.
I totally agree!
As most of developers do, I want my projects to be seen by more users. It's really helpful to find out the drawbacks in my projects and make me realize how to imporve my works. I need feedbacks, both positive and negative are welcome.
So I'm writing this post to ask my seniors for advice and experiences on how to promote an open-source project.

I have been trying to become an individual developer for a period, and have developed several tools or little projects (mainly open source). Some of them actually are very helpful at least to me, but unfortunately I am the only one to use them.No pull requests, no issues, even no stars except the only one from myself. I found it hard for them to be seen. I feel down because if there are no...
I agree that the applications for drugs design and material simulations would be the near future for QC, but unfortunately my professor seems not to focus on them. That's another source of my anxiety: when other groups are considering Fault tolerant frameworks, we are still at the most physical layer, and left behind by routes like neural atoms. So that may be more likely a personal trouble lol.
As for the sensitivity of qubits, they're much more sensitive than integrated circuits and it's far more expensive to keep a suitable environment for the former. And there are natural limits for decoherence.
Thank you for your insightful comment!
I'm not very familiar with the employment environment at my place, but according to my senior the environment seems to get worse these years. I hope when I graduate I can still find a job with my phd degree. Thank you for your advice!

I am a phd student in quantum computing(QC), and recently I am a little depressed. Over the past few years I have heard a lot of inspiring news about the development of our field, which is exactly the reason that I chose to persue a doctoral degree in this filed.But as I got closer to the frontline, I found more frustrating facts. The qubits are fragile, hard to maintain even for a single day,...
I think nowadays the most valuable thing that humans keep is the ability to reach the users of your software. By face-to-face communication and a deep talk you can find out exactly what your customers want. AI is a powerful excutor, but insights of needs should be the soul of a software.
I was born in 2000s and the game looks as old as my parents lol. Thank you for letting me experience my parents' childhood！
That's an interesting problem! But when it comes to remote control by another device, it will be unavoidable that the camera would be unable to recognize a face. I wonder if the app can work properly in this case.
That's very cute, I like the idea. Did you consider upgrading to a dynamic perspective? I guess that would be cooler and more immersive.
