This. The result is utterly trivial since they are skipping coherence: It remains to be seen if we can extend the linear (or polynomial) efficiency to coherent control gates. The efficiency of our implementation of coherent control-U gat

I would be very interested to know what methods of learning mathematics you espouse other than, or perhaps in addition to, doing exercises. Read carefully, go to seminars, ask people, and think through stuff. I'm in lowly applied mat

The only way to learn mathematics is by doing exercises. This, in my experience, is utterly false. It does seem to be a pervasive bias in the community, though -- cf. the ubiquitous "[missing step] is left as an exercise to the read

You can simulate a quantum circuit with a classical circuit, albeit with exponential slowdown.

Because of the (implicit) assumption that it runs efficiently (as in, at most in polynomial time) even on "arbitrarily complex" inputs... Otherwise the "superintelligence" would not be any different from your run-of-

Cute cartoons, but the entire argument rests on the insane assumption that "a superintelligent machine could simulate the behavior of an arbitrary Turing machine on arbitrary input" (pp.4-5) (!).

"AI" is just a tool like .net is a tool. It's not a product or idea. It's not a service. It's cool to be excited about your HoloLens and 3D calendar, but it's just a calendar, and after the hype has worn down

I suspect the confusion comes from the many forms of priming, some of which are established, others of which are suspect. Not an expert, but I thought it was by now common knowledge that social priming is a field in crisis, where failure

Indeed. From the discussion section of their paper: "This shows that quantum correlations can be universally recreated with classical systems at the expense of some extra resources " (Emphasis added) I might be wrong, but judging

So, is there a physical effect that cares about computational complexity? Or a phenomenon in which it matters that we can simulate it in "only" O(n^100), not O(2^n)? Firewalls[1,2], for starters. [1] http://arxiv.org&

Oh I thought the SI had some kind of analysis.. A priori though, I do think the differences point at misspecification. Too busy/lazy to formalize this claim though, I admit..

Not when the subgroups are large enough, and the observed differences are wide enough! (This is what degree-of-freedom corrections are for, anyway: if the effect persists despite the corrections, it holds with high probability.) I shouldn&#

Nature, Science, etc. You should know they are sometimes called "Tabloid journals" for a reason. Actual 'high-quality' or 'flagship' journals are most the most part unknown outside their discipline.

Note the original study[1] is awfully underpowered; the reported effect is weak and highly equivocal; and it reeks of 'researcher degrees of freedom' bias --so caveat lector . (It's PLOS One, after all.) [1] http:/&#x2
