I don't get such high-matter maths as 'quantum maths' at all.
This all sounds like some bullshit.
What was the solution?
> Critically, the quantum states that compose these officers have a special relationship called entanglement, which involves a correlation between different entities. If a red king is entangled with an orange queen, for instance, then even if the king and queen are both in superpositions of multiple regiments, observing that the king is red tells you immediately that the queen is orange.
Okay.
> The theory seemed to work, but to prove it, the authors had to construct a 6-by-6 array filled with quantum officers.
...
> When the researchers repeated the algorithm over and over, the puzzle array cycled closer and closer to being a true solution. Eventually, the researchers reached a point where they could see the pattern and fill in the few remaining entries by hand.
So what is the goddamn solution???
There isn't one, cause that's all bullshit and they didn't solve anything. I can claim I solved all the proved unsolvable math problems that way (I just superpositioned everything quantumly so everything has a solution).
Grant money well wasted.

- ehvatum 5y ago“So what is the goddamn solution???” It’s on page four: https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.05122.pdf https://arxiv.org/pdf/2104.05122.pdf It might not mean much to you unless you take a deep excursion into rigorous math with Dirac notation and Hilbert spaces and God-knows-what. The quanta magazine article is there for you if you’re somewhat generally interested and don’t have years to invest in study.
- beardyw 5y agoIt isn't a solution to the problem in the way Euler meant it. It is a bit like saying no one can climb this mountain, and then someone gets there by helicopter.
- jaza 5y agoThe Kobayashi Maru [0] is a no-win scenario. Unless you reprogram the simulation. Kirk called it original thinking. I call it cheating. [0] https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kobayashi_Maru_scenario https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Kobayashi_Maru_scenario
- josefx 5y agoThe funny thing about that is, with original star trek going through all kinds of crazy situations, thinking outside of the box and changing the simulation was probably the correct solution to an unwinnable problem multiple times, in some cases literally. In this case it solves a slightly different problem, but for many situations that may be enough.
