Is it typical for quantum computing to use such specialized terminology?
I have a good understanding (i.e. graduate level study) of general quantum physics as well as pure mathematics in general, and can generally read quantum physics papers without issue and somewhat understand pure mathematics abstracts at the least (though the extent of my understanding depends on the subdiscipline).
And yet, the abstract for this paper reads like complete technobabble to me. It's filled with individual words which I know like "entangled", "orthogonal", "tensor", etc. and yet after reading both the article and abstract I have no idea what the hell is going on here.
Reading the body of the article, I can start to understand but it looks like I'll need to do a lot of study into quantum computing to get up to speed on it.
