You can do applied quantum logic in an afternoon (with e.g. colab and cirq, qiskit, and/or tequila) but then how much math is necessary; what is a "real conjugate"?
- esafak 3y agoIn the same way you an "do ML" without knowing linear algebra and probability theory. Such people can barely extend anything, let alone design new models from scratch.
- westurner 3y agoE.g. Quantum embedding isn't yet taught to undergrads, and can be quickly explained to folks interested in the field, who might not be deterred by laborious newspaper summarizations, and who might pursue this strategic and critical skill. How many ways are there to roll a 6-sided die with qubits and quantum embedding? It took years for tech to completely and entirely rid itself of the socially-broken nerd stereotypes that pervaded early digital computing as well. How can we get enough people into QIS Quantum fields to supply demand for new talent?

- esafak 3y ago"When are we ever going to need maths?" said the high schooler. You use the skills you have.
- shortrounddev2 3y agoThat's not true, many people willfully eject information that they have no use for immediately upon leaving school.
- westurner 3y agoWhile I somewhat regret selling most of my college textbooks back, I feel that cramming for non-applied tests and quizzes was something I needed to pay them for me to do. TIL about memory retention; spaced repetition interval training and projects with written communications components in application
- Yoric 3y agoNote that, in practice, quantum logic does not have quantum hardware that can run it at the moment. So that might limit the usability of such knowledge for the near future.
