Quantum mechanics is a linear theory. That's not an erroneous statement. Quantum computing and quantum mechanics, not the same thing.

Cooling is definitely a problem is your aim is to cool down the millions of physical qubits required to get the thousands of logical qubits needed to do an actually useful quantum computation. No one has scaled up their qubit technology to

At this point in time there's no one that has enough logical qubits to do a useful quantum computation. It might be a few decades before someone figures out how to scale up the number of useful qubits. In the meantime a bunch of QC sta

These work only at a few Kelvin because they need superconducting nanowires. Will this type of stuff ever leave the lab?

"You make it sound like there are no women at all in male-dominated fields" Where in their statement did they make that claim? You're inventing arguments.

They only said that if your goal in cycling is to get fit and health benefits then it makes the most sense to get a comfortable bike. I think it makes sense to fight back against the common recommendations you get from bike communities who

Given that the Supreme Court we have today is now an extension of the Christian Taliban I'm not very hopeful we're in a time of fairness and justice.

Musk decided to pay $54.20/share (because weed joke) for twitter under the guise that he was going to fix the bot problem. Now he wants to back out of the deal because of the bot problem. He makes no sense.

Who knows, the academic research is often focused on finding out new physics and relies on hero samples. The many failed attempts to solve the engineering challenge of scalability and reliability in graphene are not very visible to the worl

What are you talking about not needing room temperature superconductors for room temperature operation? If at 300 K a material has zero resistance then that material will carry current at room temperature.

I can't find an example of how to use Bayesian statistics with some real data and when to use it. If I have a bunch of IV curves from a bunch of devices, in my calculation of R using Ohm's law V = IR should I be using a Bayesian a

What type of bet you make with the market matters a lot. If your play is very convex and it gives you the opportunity to risk $1 to make $10 then that's a worthwhile bet to make provided that losing $1 10 times doesn't wipe you ou

Why are you judging universities as a business? Profit is not everything my dude. You seem to be biased due to your background as an economist.

That's what I wonder too, if a big chunk of this money goes to intel then a bunch of smaller boutique fabs that are integral for some of the other stated areas like quantum computing will be impacted. How is the money going to trickle

Doesn't a fab need to consume tons of water? That whole southwest are of the US is entering longer and longer periods of drought. Seems like setting up shop further north into a water-rich area would be better.

If a house is being rented it means I can't buy it, supply is low. That's what I understood housing supply meant when talking about house prices. Renting is not a factor, it's another market.

Well then the article is terrible at communicating science. I had the same confusion arise as many others in this thread and it looks like in order to understand the article you already needed to have understood all the jargon and what the

Expectation values and psi^2 is literally probability. Quantum mechanics tells us nature is inherently probabilistic at the quantum scales.

I disagree, I can think of a whole lot of other human flaws that don't fit under the umbrella of perfectionism the author describes. Narcissism, hypocrisy, abuse, violence, anger-issues, being Scottish, etc. Fear of failure/uncert

Well, you are in a bubble of sorts where an algorithm feeds you lots of STEM related information. So you get exposed to a lot of STEM conversations and it creates the illusion that everyone is pushing STEM. The truth is somewhere in the mid

I saw an example of how one could make the claim that 50% of infected are vaccinated and it worked like this: population of 100, 84 are vaxxed, 16 are unvaxxed. 2 infected in the vaxxed pool, and 2 infected in the unvaxxed pool. If you then

I think the new ideas get accepted when either the old guard die, and/or an undeniable technology gets created by use of the new idea.

We actually don't vote for the chair of the Federal Reserve (currently Jerome Powell) and that's a problem. These people have an outsized influence in our lives and they're not publicly elected.
