They say, “time flies when you’re having fun,” and I’ve definitely blogged about quantum computing being fun. Well, I’ve blogged about playing with electrons being fun, anyway.

It turns out that quantum computing is so much fun that I’ve already run 310 experiments. That’s not to say that they’re all different experiments, because most experiments have to be run quite a few times. Also, most experiments are run on the simulator before they are run on real hardware.

I’m sure there are users who have run many thousands of experiments, and 310 seems insignificant in comparison. However, it was much higher than I was expecting. I was actually wondering if I had cracked 100 yet.

As I think about it in retrospect, I’ve run quite a few different experiments. It all began with “Hello, Quantum World” back on August 6, 2019, which means I’ve been queueing up almost four runs per day. I’m now looking forward to getting to 1,000 runs and celebrating somehow.
