I wish I knew more about quantum physics.
With most science-related articles, I know enough to be able to tell what's journalistic hype and what contains an element of truth. But with anything about quantum physics or quantum computing, I am completely at a loss as to whether the ideas presented are even real, never mind having a hope of understanding them.
- loup-vaillant 13y agoHere is an understandable and serious 40.000 feet bird's eye view of quantum physics: http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ http://lesswrong.com/lw/r5/the_quantum_physics_sequence/ Having reading it, I'm confident this post is crap. The abstract of the scientific article behind it looks much better, though.
- Double_Cast 13y agoI started reading the sequence a while ago. I'm confident I understood everything, up until the dialogue between the aliens who split their brains. There were simply too many streams of consciousness for me to follow. At that point, I decided to quit and come back to it after a few months. I find that sometimes, looking at a problem with a fresh mind is enough to solve it instantly.
