It’s 16 years old and just as old are the criticisms?????

It’s at odds with the philosophy of do one thing and do it well. Its monolithic feature set pushes out smaller contributors and leads to increased reliance on a singular package. T…

As long as humans keep using the internet I can’t see it mattering too much. Has this impacted the amount people who are using social media I wonder.

Doubt

Photonic quantum computing is by no means at the point where it will definitely scale. I wouldn’t really say any platform is though.

There are exactly 2 reasons we might want quantum networks. 1. 100% secure communication channels (even better we can detect any attempt at eavesdropping and whatever information i…

Relevant article: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S266638992... Something about this new iteration of phrenology seems more insidious. It allows researchers to av…

Probably will slightly increase old fashioned methods. More likely though it’s going to accelerate social isolation :/

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_Computation_and_Quan... ^^ The best resource there is to start with.

Oh also to clarify: What exactly is the device they have made? Well it's pretty complicated but one handwavey explanation is that they have created a device that splits an electron…

Some background for the unfamiliar. This is a new type of quantum computing platform that Microsoft has been pursuing almost independently. Most major research groups focus on supe…

Oh and to be clear the visualization is nonsense it doesn’t relate to anything.

Quantum mechanics tells us that the qubit (coin) can exist in any linear superposition of heads and tails. To express this you write a|heads> + b|tails> the only constraint is that…
