Quantum computing for everyone

• Eliezer 18y ago
  Overheard at Transhuman Atlanta: "I can't wait to get my hands on a 64-qubit computer!" "What are you going to do with 64 qubits?" "I don't know, but I'll be doing it very fast."

  Good article on a fascinating topic. I find the most depressing aspect of QC, though, to be the no-cloning theorem. Computation is a bit trickier when you can't copy data.

    That's only for unknown states. You can prepare any state you want, in theory. Quantum error correction is brilliant. I highly recommend looking it up if you've done any college QM.

  written a bit too simplistic for my taste. then again, i like a decent book and look down on anyone who's writing or saying "tl;dr".

    The mods were a little harsh on you (-1), because I agree it was a little too simplistic.
