In this talk I’ll provide an overview of recent activities for the growth of an open-source ecosystem in quantum technology by Unitary Fund, a 501(c)3 non-profit, whose activities can be broadly divided into three groups: (1) Microgrants; (2) community activities; (3) research. I will provide an overview of 89+ microgrants awarded to date with some spotlights (Julia projects) and stats. Community activities include a lively Discord server (with many community calls and "Quantum Wednesdays" jour

I will provide an overview of 89+ microgrants awarded to date with some spotlights (Julia projects) and stats. Community activities include a lively Discord server (with many community calls and "Quantum Wednesdays" journal clubs), the Quantum Open Source Survey (featuring Julia), unitaryHACK (a special hackathon) and more. The Unitary Fund tech staff is performing research enabling open source projects in error mitigation (Mitiq) and benchmarks of quantum computer metrics (Metriq.info).
