I think it is kind of important to point out that there isn't much that was shown in the video, that is different from a traditional low-temperature lab (although I am not an exper…

I don't specifically target my posture, but I do take a holistic view to health and fitness. I realize that I've taken a career path that will have me sitting 6-8 hours a day for t…

"We have a reasonable certainty that QM is possible", sorry I meant to say QC(Quantum Computing)

Bohmiian mechanics is a non-local hidden variable theory of Quantum Mechanics. Any result from traditional QM should hold with Bohmian Mechanics, including the ability to perform q…

There is this http://www.quantumplayground.net/#/home and it is done in webGL. Although it doesn't use the Bloch sphere.

24k/year grad student. Of course the pays not great, but I get to learn and work on some cutting edge stuff and eventually get a degree out of it. Also while I can end up working l…

While all of these are required, none of the besides linear algebra are needed in great detail. I think someone who is Studying mathematics should be able to handle it.

Of course this is a story filled mostly with anecdotes, but as a Canadian I would like to believe that generally we are a "nice" people as a whole and take pride in it. However, I …

I am involved in the field, and I can say that it is quite an interesting result. Of course it doesn't mean we will have affordable quantum computer soon, or even in the near futur…

Putting a qubit in a coherent state really isn't a technical challenge anymore. The challenge these days is getting it to stay in a coherent state (ie. avoid decoherence) long enou…

When you are an expert in an academic field, you typically have spent many, many years reading about the problems in the field and the main ways to attack them. The same authors, w…

Looking at the sample, I agree with you. Condensed ≠ easy to understand. Honestly, a lot of the graduate texts I deal with look easier to understand. In my opinion, every single co…

One thing that we have begun using, to simplify some quantum computational analysis are Graphical tensor networks as presented in this http://arxiv.org/abs/1111.6950 paper. Hasn't …

for grad school, or undergrad? Either way congrats! I've spoken with a lot of the CS students and they're super bright.

I also notice calming and de-stressing effects from working out as well. I work long hours normally but I would still much rather go to the gym and workout then go home and lie on …

I do agree that the extra attention can be unwanted and negative sometimes. For example, I've worked out the whole time I've dated my girlfriend of around ~5 years. However, at the…

That is true now although it is quite hard to get in. I'm at UW for grad school (not cs) and I don't think I could of gotten into UW with my high school marks for CS or engineering…

It is very cool to see the Quantum Valley Investments fund here. I'm joining the Cory group in the fall and can't wait to get started.

I'm only 22 and I clicked hoping for better shaving cream tech. Even though I'm not a hairy person shaving is such a pain.

This is one of my biggest fears as a physics student graduating in two months time. I love to learn and from my previous summers work I love to research. I've gotten into one of th…

I had the exact same reaction :)

This is really cool, it kind of reminds me of the lifeline in who wants to be a millionare "ask the audience". It would be really cool to see a startup where all the decisions were…

So true, graduating this year and our classes have no more than 20 students. Last year one of my fourth year courses had 4 students for the exam. Get tons of one on one time althou…

LinAlg 2 coming up in two days. Its a fun course!
