Check out https://www.rigetti.com/ if you want to work with python.

we need to stop calling things quantum that are not quantum - its confusing

Are there other examples of startups tackling problems that were only addressed by departments of larger problems and those startups then using their focus as an advantage?

What is the difference between the approaches that Rigetti and say Google and IBM are taking?

Interesting - Is there a good reference which describes the Born-Oppenheimer approximation in terms of parallel transport?

I like the way you think. How could someone determine if this occurred? Rocket sabotage seems like a rather perfect crime, very little evidence is left afterwards.

I wonder if Quantum Annealing would also be applicable.

The scaling on the simulation of the nanowire was dismal. Having effective quantum simulation would make such a tremendous impact on semiconductor development.

Your turning point of 2005 might simply be because programmers stopped developing applications that require faster serial processing. Those programmers might have stopped developing such applications because they noticed that chip clock spe

Some portion of what is deemed important arises from the interaction between mathematics and physics. It would be fascinating to automate the invention of new mathematical structures and then have a post-human physicist try to apply these n

The problem is mostly that parents and teachers have expectations for students beyond what most of them are intellectually capable of. There is also an excessive emphasis on empty credentialism. Both problems could be tempered via a recogni

He seems to have tremendous breadth of curiosity, it will be interesting to see what he ultimately ends up specializing in. MIT is a big place, and trying to "major in everything" will almost certainly not turn out well.

Well put, I would further add that much of the equity in these few firms is owned by massive firms such as Blackstone, and and Blackrock. Concentrating the ownership into the hands of fewer owners further promotes anticompetitive action.

Wait, isnt doing the same thing on the employer side called a trust? If this isn't what you had in mind please elaborate.

Workers tend to consume as much or more than they make in income, hence most workers would immediately liquidate their equity holdings in exchange for cash that actually improves their quality of life. The best move would be eliminating the

Africa was not blessed with the greatest geography for capital formation. The most interesting question is why Africa did not develop prior to the period of colonization, in the time period from say 1000-1500 CE when Europe when from a posi

Periodic bouts of practically free electricity make water desalination much more attractive. Perhaps you even get a stabilizing mechanism where: drought ~ high solar output -> cheap electricity -> water desalination -> eliminates d

There is actually a 7-dimensional "cross-product" (-esque operation): https://en.wikipedia.org/?title=Seven-dimensional_cross_prod... The relationship between Quaternions and the 3-dimensional cross-product corres

I apologize, my comment was too vague. My complaint is that when the connection between the Maxwell equations and Clifford algebras is first raised, there is an accompanying picture that shows the cross product in explicit coordinates.

The post makes it appear that using cross product to express Faraday's law is somehow related to Clifford Algebras.
