      I know how to use google, thanks. But tephra is a) thinking of a different definition, b) used the term by mistake or c) is just wrong.

        This is not the place for this. Maybe Ctrl+tab to twitter instead?

          I was just curious about the unusual choice of words.

            You surely must be trolling

              Reading "Ewin Tang is a female" instead of "Ewin Tang is a woman" is what made me look into it, really. It seemed a deliberate choice and I wondered if it was related to a gender change from woman to man. Of course, that's completely irrelevant to the subject of quantum computing.

    She was 18 at the time she discovered this algorithm, which in context seems to be what is relevant.
