[Learn-data-science] Data Science Meeting (Pennylane and VQE) - March 3rd, 3:30pm PST

[Eric Drechsler]

Hallo Data Scientist,

we will meet today, Wednesday, March 3rd at 03:30pm in [1] for a rather 
exciting session: You can get your hands dirty on the challenges of the 
recent qHack event.

After a quick warm-up with the easy problem set mentioned in the last 
e-mail, Peter will guide us through a more sophisticated demonstration 
of a very popular algorithm: the Variational Quantum Eigensolver.

In order for you to run the provided notebooks, please follow the 
instructions in [2] and let me know if you encounter any issues.

See q later!
