On Wednesdays at 5:30PM UTC the Unitary Fund hosts "Quantum Wednesday" (QW). The event is an hour long and generally pertains to quantum computing related topics.
The events are hosted on our discord, and are open for all to attend, regardless of quantum computing knowledge/skill. We encourage questions, and engagement from community members, but listening in is also completely acceptable. Hope to see you there!
If you're interested in giving a talk, please get in contact with a Unitary Fund staff member if you have any questions, otherwise use the sign up form!
