This means that students and professionals alike will have the opportunity to explore - to test what is possible and learn how to develop for it. This is of particular interest to me, as I do research in computational chemistry and have been looking forward to the possibility of using quantum computers to solve larger and more complex chemical problems. As part of my capstone project I've decided learn more about quantum computing. This includes, but is not limited to, relevant reading and research, interviews with professionals, and attempting to develop software for the system. Part of what I plan to do is create tutorials for others hoping to use this technology, along with some example projects. Ultimately the plan is for this to become a resource for anyone interested in quantum computers. ### About the Author My name is Aislyn Laurent and I'm an undergraduate student at the University of Windsor finishing my double major in Biochemistry and Computer Science. I do computational chemistry research, work with Google as the Women Techmakers Ambassador for the Windsor / Essex region and participate in a whole bunch of campus programs and initiatives (like Esports). You can reach out to me directly through socials or come find me stomping around the chemistry building: * **Twitter:** * **LinkedIn:** --- # Agent Instructions This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://lewisla.gitbook.io/learning-quantum/master.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
