Hi - thanks for pointing this out. I've added a note clearing up that as you correctly write the quantum interpretation makes sense at the single photon level. Obviously it's hard …

Hey, you're right you could use a stick on a piece of paper etc. Totally fair. That being said this is in fact a real application where a qubit can model things a standard bit can'…

Hey - this is perfectly reasonable and constructive feedback - thank you! I see your point that the polarization example can be explained using classical approaches. I wanted to ex…

Yes - I used the term computer because it really does allow you to mock this quantum algorithm: https://www.scottaaronson.com/papers/qcoin13.pdf . It's described in Professor Aaron…

Hey - you totally could to mock this exact setup like you're suggesting. However, in a real quantum computer setup you would take one qubit and apply either the positive or negativ…

Thanks for the kind words! I've been told to improve my handwriting but here I finally have proof I don't need to haha

Hi! Author here - If you have any feedback on what can improve please let me know! Thanks for reading and feel free to shoot me a note at dhruv.parthasarathy@gmail.com if you'd lik…

This article does point out a lot of things that have failed this decade - all fair points. But in focusing on failures it fails to capture that casual education (not formal, schoo…

For those wondering, here’s how GoodRx works and makes money: 1. GoodRx obtains prices of drugs at all pharmacies through contracts it has with PBMs (middleman that determines insu…

Hey! I wrote this article - “we” is referring to people who had a similar educational experience to me. I was introduced to matrices as a tool for solutions to systems of equations…

Hey! Thanks for the feedback. I go into this in the next post on eigenvectors here: https://www.dhruvonmath.com/2019/02/25/eigenvectors/ . I start by discussing basis vectors which…

Hey OP here! When I first was introduced to matrices (high school) it was in the context of systems of equations. Matrices were a shorthand for writing out the equations and happen…
