    Could you share a bit more details on your config?

    You can easily test a gradient using only the forward pass by doing f(x+h) ~ f(x) + dot(g, h) for a random h

    Very fun! It would be interesting to do this with actual quantum mechanics (ie solving the schrodinger equation for an inverted quadratic potential). The usual bound states of the …

    I just skimmed the article and didn't watch the video, but the bit about backpropagation is just wrong. Backpropagation doesn't compute an inverse of the jacobian, it computes its …

    > The name quantum in quantum theory is related to the fact that in a separable Hilbert space, any set of mutually orthonormal vectors is countable. Pretty sure the name quantum co…

    ... And so that constraint forces R1 to be zero? Note that finding a solution to the problem originally stated is equivalent to a linear programming problem, which (for such a simp…

    Do not be fooled, julia is not a oo language, despite some similarities. If you try to replicate oo patterns in Julia it's not going to work well, but in idiomatic julia I've never…

    MPI.jl does not have an array wrapper type, it just exposes the bare mpi calls. Some other packages do use it to build array types.

    Are you sure that the difference is due to the allocations? I would expect this to be dominated by matrix multiplies or svds. Are you comparing this with the same blas/LAPACK? Edit…
