Also, keep in mind that NP hard ≠ NP complete. By saying 'solve any NP hard problem in polynomial time', you're also saying 'solve any NEXPTIME hard problem in polynomial time', which is known to be false.

Quantum computing (under the quantum circuit model) basically consists of repeatedly applying unitary matrices to complex vectors (the qubits). They are like your Boolean logic gates but they must be unitary, which implies they must be reve

Explain which observations you think are racist, inaccurate, incorrect, inflammatory, and ridiculous. Don't just assert it and expect others to read your mind.
