Oddbean new post about login | logout Oh 233 pages isn’t awful sounding.
its because we’ve only figured out how to build like 6 quantum algorithms 😆 the overview of each one is quite interesting though. Shors is most impressive.
Thanks for the book recommendation. It’s ordered. I enjoy my plebeian understanding of these things.
Haha good luck, i liked it because its like quantum mechanics with all the physics stripped out. Quantum information distills the essence of what computation means in our universe.
That sounds perfect for those of us who aren’t qualified but can’t help but peek behind the curtain. I started with stuff like that with a course called “Physics for Future Presidents” that was made free online by UC Berkeley. It was supposed to be “all the physics we wish a future president would understand.” 🤣 Great class.
