That was delicious. I've always avoided studying physics because it seems like very hard work to just satisfy my curiosity... so far my copy of the Feynman Lectures has only served an ornamental purpose.
- ashu 19y ago"Quantum Information and Quantum Computation" by Nielsen and Huang is also a fascinating book if you want to look at Quantum Mechanics from a distinctly mathematical and CS perspective.
- jey 19y agoAwesome, thanks!
- michael_nielsen 19y agoI'm Michael Nielsen (the first author). I'm very glad you liked our book! A little correction: my co-author is Ike Chuang. (I'm not grepping my name. I've taken an extended, possibly permanent, break from quantum computing, and will likely start a web-based company or foundation. YC News is a great resource, which I check regularly.)

- sarosh 19y agoOut of curiosity, will you be applying any principals from the book to the startup?
- michael_nielsen 19y agoThe startup won't be quantum related, if that's what you're asking. Of course, there is a lot that I learnt in the course of writing the book that will be useful - techniques related to skills like abstraction, communication, synthesis, and managing large projects.
